Press Trust of India New Delhi
The AAP today accused the Delhi Police of shielding the ABVP members following a violent clash between the RSS-backed student's body and Left-affiliated AISA at DU's Ramjas college.

"The Delhi Police has been trying to save the members of the ABVP," AAP's Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey said.

Violent clashes broke out between AISA and ABVP members at the college today over a seminar invite to JNU students Omar Khalid and Shehla Rashid which left "several students and three teachers injured".

Referring to the last year's controversy at JNU, where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised, the AAP took a jibe at the Delhi Police, saying they were not able to arrest those who gave a "cry of breaking the nation."
 

Pandey also demanded that the Delhi Police be made more accountable as the crime graph in the city has been on the rise.

He said, instead of focusing on controlling the crime rate, the Delhi Police is busy targeting AAP leaders and its MLAs.

Citing figures, Pandey claimed that 29 people have been killed in January, 283 cases of looting and 140 cases of exploitation of women have been reported.

"As the Delhi Police is under the Centre, the crime rate in the national capital has been on the rise. The Delhi Police should be made accountable," he said.
