दिल्ली में जहां एक महिला को उसके घर के बाहर गोली मारके उसकी हत्या की गई वहीं दूसरी तरह मालवीय नगर जैसे पॉश इलाक़े में लड़की को रॉड से मारा गया। दिल्ली बेहद असुरक्षित है। किसी को फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ता। सिर्फ़ अख़बार की खबरों में लड़कियों के नाम बदल जाते हैं, अपराध नहीं रुकते।

Meanwhile, the chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal, took note of the incident and tweeted, “In a posh locality like Malviya Nagar, a girl was beaten to death with a rod. Delhi is extremely unsafe. It doesn’t matter to anyone. Only in newspaper reports, the names of girls are changed, and the crimes do not stop.”
A few minutes after the incident, the Delhi police arrested the accused. Further investigations are underway in the case.
