NEW DELHI: In the now-monumental war between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Delhi Police, an ad that is running on TV and radio about the stabbing of a young teen has become a point of combat.
Delhi Police Chief BS Bassi says the ad is misleading and exaggerates safety problems for women in the city.
Because Delhi is a Union Territory, the police is controlled by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Mr Kejriwal says that the 19-year-old's stabbing earlier this month is tragic but crucial evidence of the police's inefficiency. The woman's parents have said they had complained repeatedly to the cops about the men who were harassing their daughter, but had been largely ignored.

After the stabbing, Mr Kejriwal summoned the police chief for a detailed update on the investigation, and was reportedly rebuffed.
