Delhi govt announces compensation to the family of Sakshi: Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi: AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Tuesday lashed out at Lt Governor VK Saxena over the murder of a minor girl in the Shahbad Dairy area, alleging that the people of Delhi have "lost faith" in the national capital's law-and-order system.

Sakshi, a 16-year-old girl was stabbed over 20 times and bludgeoned to death by a youth in a busy bylane as passers-by looked on in northwest Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area.

"The people of Delhi have lost faith in the law-and-order system. The police, who use force on women wrestlers and Manish Sisodia, look weak in front of these killers. There is a problem in the leadership. The L-G's priority is something else," Bharadwaj said in a tweet in Hindi.

शाहबाद डेयरी की निर्मम हत्या



लोग क्यों नहीं करते मदद ?



दिल्ली कि लोगों का क़ानून व्यवस्था पर भरोसा उठ चुका है। जो पुलिस महिला पहलवानों और मनीष सिसोदिया पर बल प्रयोग करती है । वो इन हत्यारों के सामने निर्बल नज़र आती है ।



समस्या नेतृत्व में है

LG साब की प्राथमिकता कुछ और हैं।

The Delhi government has also announced an ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh to the victim's family.

Best lawyers will be fielded for this case." Kejriwal on Monday urged Saxena to take strict action over the incident.
