Please take care of Delhi's law and order: Kejriwal to Shah on Jamia firing

NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday reacted to the Jamia firing incident asking Home Minister Amit Shah to take care of the "deteriorating" law and order situation in Delhi.

Kejriwal's statement came through a tweet replying to a post by Shah in which the home minister said he has directed Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik to take strict action in the case.

"What is happening in Delhi? The law and order is deteriorating. Please take care of Delhi's law and order," Kejriwal said in the tweet. Police in Delhi reports to the Centre.


Tension spiralled in Jamia Nagar after a man fired a pistol at a group of anti-CAA protesters, injuring a Jamia Millia Islamia student before walking away while waving the firearm above his head and shouting "Yeh lo aazadi" amid heavy police presence in the area.

Shah in his tweet said he directed Commissioner Amulya Patnaik to take the strictest action and that the Central government will not tolerate such incidents.

"I have spoken to the Delhi Police Commissioner on the incident of firing in Delhi and have directed him to take strictest action," he said in his tweet.
