Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “A minor girl is brutally murdered openly in Delhi. This is very sad and unfortunate. The criminals have become fearless, there is no fear of the police. L-G sir, law and order is your responsibility, do something. The safety of the people of Delhi is of paramount importance.”
AAP Minister Atishi tweeted, “My soul trembled after seeing this dreadful murder. I want to remind the Delhi L-G that the Constitution has given him the responsibility of protecting the people of Delhi but you spend all their time in stopping the work of Arvind Kejriwal. I request the L-G with folded hands to pay attention to the safety of women in Delhi. Today, women are not at all safe in Delhi.”
Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal tweeted, “The audacity of the criminals in Delhi is alarming. Issuing a notice to the police. All limits have been crossed. In my entire career, I have never witnessed anything as horrifying as this.”
The Delhi Police filed an FIR in the Sakshi murder case and was able to arrest Sahil from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh today (May 29) within 24 hours of the incident. This murder drew a comparison with other recent gruesome murders in the capital city
