NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party targeted Delhi police commissioner Rakesh Asthana and union home minister Amit Shah after the Rohini court shootout on Friday afternoon in which three gangsters were killed.
AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said it was shameful for the Delhi Police that gang wars are happening in courtrooms of Delhi and added that the high court should take suo-motu cognisance of the security lapse and haul up the top police officer.
“This is the law and order situation under Amit Shah. And their favourite man is the Commissioner of Police,” Bharadwaj tweeted.
Delhi BJP functionary Neelkant Bakshi defended Delhi Police. Bakshi said immediate counter fire by alert Delhi Police personnel during the shootout saved many lives in the Rohini court. “The gangsters dressed up as lawyers to enter the court, so stricter checking is required for everyone entering the court,” Bakshi stated.
