Two Women Shot Dead In Delhi Over Loan Dispute; Kejriwal Attacks Centre

Two women were shot dead by unidentified shooters in Delhi's RK Puram police station area during the early morning hours of Sunday.

The victims were rushed to Safdarjung Hospital where they were declared dead.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Manoj C said, "Acting on information received, our police team reached the spot wherein it was found that two women were shot and shifted to SJ hospital where they died."

Preliminary investigation revealed that the assailants were after the victims' brother and the motive behind the incident seems to be a monetary dispute, he said.

"We have registered a case under the Indian Penal Code and investigation is underway to nab the suspects," the DCP said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the national capital would have been the safest place had the law and order situation been under the AAP dispensation instead of the Lieutenant Governor.

"Our thoughts are with the families of the two women. May their souls rest in peace. The people of Delhi have started feeling quite insecure. Those who are responsible for handling the law and order situation in Delhi are hatching conspiracy to take control of Delhi government instead of fixing the situation," Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi.

"Had the law and order situation been under the AAP dispensation instead of the LG, Delhi would have been the safest," he added.

The AAP had on earlier occasions too attacked Lt Governor V K Saxena over the alleged "deteriorating" law and order situation in the city.
