He further remarked that due to the deteriorating security conditions, what should have been a joyful Diwali turned into a night of mourning for a family in Shahdara.
Saurabh Bharadwaj also criticized the BJP-led central government for its frequent interference in Delhi's governance, suggesting that if the government focused its efforts on improving law and order, incidents of murders, gang wars, and robberies would not be so prevalent in the city.

Prima facie it appears that there was a dispute between the juvenile and deceased Akash over Rs 70,000. There is a record of previous criminal involvement with a charge of attempt to murder against the juvenile. The accused were planning to target Akash for the past 15-17 days," he said.
