Amit Shah visits Delhi Police headquarters to take stock of law and order in national capital

Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the Delhi Police headquarters on Saturday afternoon to assess the current state of law and order in the national capital. The discussions were expected to include the recent protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), efforts to combat drug abuse, actions against foreign-based gangsters, and crimes against women.

Shah arrived at the police headquarters on Jai Singh Road around 3 pm, where senior officers were set to provide him with an update on the force's operations, ongoing investigations, and significant law enforcement challenges.

This visit follows recent concerns over allegations of excessive force used by the Delhi Police during the CJP's "Sansad Chalo" march in July. The meeting aimed to review the circumstances surrounding the protest, the police's response, and the steps taken to avoid similar incidents in the future. The Home Minister's attendance is also anticipated to bolster the morale of the force, which has faced criticism over its management of protests.

Shah's return to the Delhi Police headquarters marks his first visit there in over four years. His last visit occurred on August 30, 2022. The discussions are also projected to focus on the government's primary objectives, such as curbing drug trafficking, dismantling criminal organizations with overseas ties, and enhancing the fight against crimes against women.
