Mon Mar 10 19:20:02 UTC 2025: ## Broad Daylight Murder in Delhi Sparks Political Row
**New Delhi, March 11, 2025** – A 30-year-old man, Rohit, was shot dead near Ghazipur’s wholesale flower market on Monday morning, sparking a heated debate over Delhi’s law and order situation. The incident led to hours-long traffic disruption on National Highway-24 as residents, including Rohit’s family, protested, demanding swift arrests.
Police have arrested two suspects, Nazim (49) and Talib (24), in connection with the murder, which they say stemmed from a monetary dispute. Investigations indicate five individuals were involved, and police teams are actively pursuing the remaining suspects. Rohit, a supervisor at the Ghazipur landfill, had reportedly received prior threats.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi’s opposition party, criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, claiming the incident highlights a complete breakdown of law and order. AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar stated that despite a recent meeting between the Union Home Minister and Delhi’s Chief Minister to address the issue, crime continues to rise.
In contrast, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva maintained that the city’s law and order situation is satisfactory, citing a decrease in crime over the past two months. The differing claims have fueled a political battle over accountability for maintaining safety in the national capital. The Delhi Police, unlike those in other states, report to the Union Home Ministry.
