Published in The Hindu Administrative control over the Delhi Police has repeatedly been a source of tussle between the Central Government and the Delhi Government. The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal in his meetings with Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Rajnath Singh reportedly raised two demands: full statehood for Delhi and control over Delhi Police. Mr Kejriwal, in his last short-lived stint as Chief Minister also sat on a dharna to force suspension of three Delhi police officers who refused to arrest some Ugandan and Nigerian nationals at the orders of then Law Minister, Somnath Bharati who personally went on a midnight raid on charges of a drug and prostitution racket being run in the area. AAP MLAs too in the Vidhan Sabha raised the demand to summon the Delhi Police Commissioner to be made “accountable” for the law and order situation in the city.
