Incorrect to call Delhi national crime capital: Police on Delhi govt resolution

The Delhi Police on Monday said the number of heinous crimes in the national capital has declined this year from last year and it was incorrect to call the city the "crime capital".

The reaction came hours after the Delhi Assembly adopted a government resolution claiming that the city has become the "national crime capital".

When asked if this was the first time the Delhi Police was responding to a resolution passed in the Delhi Assembly, an officer in the force said, "We have the right to give our version. Whenever questions are raised on the Delhi Police, be it in the Vidhan Sabha or anywhere else, we respond to them. This is not the first time that we are responding."
The Delhi Police said, "As regards the alleged incident of attack on the CM, prompt legal action was taken by police and further probe into the case is being conducted professionally and expeditiously according to law."
