On the other hand, CM Arvind Kejriwal described the incident as extremely shameful and demanded that the culprits be hanged as soon as possible. The CM had tweeted, “Murder after brutality with a 9-year-old innocent in Delhi is extremely shameful. The law and order situation in Delhi needs to be rectified. The guilty should be sentenced to death as soon as possible. I am going to meet the victim’s family tomorrow, I will do my best to help the family in this fight for justice.”

दिल्ली में 9 साल की मासूम के साथ हैवानियत के बाद हत्या बेहद शर्मनाक है। दिल्ली में कानून-व्यवस्था दुरुस्त किए जाने की ज़रुरत है। दोषियों को जल्द से जल्द फांसी की सज़ा मिलनी चाहिए।

कल पीड़ित परिवार से मिलने जा रहा हूं, न्याय की इस लड़ाई में परिवार की हर संभव मदद करेंगे।
