Wed Nov 20 19:42:58 UTC 2024: ## Delhi CM Blames Amit Shah for City’s “Gangster Capital” Status
**New Delhi, November 21, 2024** – Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of failing to maintain law and order in the city, alleging Delhi has become the “gangster capital” of India. Her comments followed a meeting with the parents of a 28-year-old man murdered in Sunder Nagari last week.
Ms. Atishi criticized the BJP-led central government, stating that the increase in shootings, extortion, and murders demonstrates a complete failure to control crime. She claimed that while the Home Minister is preoccupied with election rallies, Delhi’s crime rate is spiraling.
The Chief Minister highlighted the case of the 28-year-old victim, stating that while two individuals have been arrested, the alleged ringleaders, described as local gangsters, remain at large. She further drew parallels between Delhi’s current situation and the gangster-ridden Mumbai of the 1990s, citing recent incidents such as shootings in Rajouri Garden and Nangloi, and attacks on police officers. Ms. Atishi contends that these incidents underscore a dramatic rise in crime across the city. The Delhi Police falls under the jurisdiction of the Union Home Ministry.
