New Delhi:
Reacting to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal charges that the Delhi Police is 'highly compromised', Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi on Thursday said the police is capable enough to protect the public.
"I want to assure all the people that Delhi Police is there for your help. We are here to ensure that the people are safe," Bassi told media here today.
Earlier today, Kejriwal blamed the Delhi Police for rising cases of rapes in the city, saying the police is highly compromised.
"If crimes are not happening then it is not because of Delhi police. It is in spite of the presence Delhi police," he had told media.
"We are warning the Delhi Police. If proper action is not taken, then the government will not sit quiet nor will the public. The entire public will start interfering in their work if they don't start acting," he added.
The 51-year-old Danish woman alleged she was gang raped and robbed by a group of eight men near the New Delhi Railway Station.
The victim told the police that she was gang raped and beaten after being robbed by eight men, after she lost track of the hotel she was staying in.
Though the victim flew to Copenhagen early this morning, she has alleged that she was attacked as she was seeking directions to her hotel. The suspects are said to have then taken her to an undisclosed location and raped her.
The men also took her money and valuables which she was carrying. The victim, however, managed to get to her hotel, and informed the police about the incident.
Police have arrested four men in connection with the case. Police said the victim had refused to undergo a medical examination before flying off to Denmark.
