Congress leader Anurag Dhanda has strongly criticised the Delhi Police for arresting a daily-wage labourer in the Janakpuri Biker Death case, alleging that the real culprits are being protected while blame is being shifted onto the weakest individual.
Anurag Dhanda Slams Delhi Police Over Arrest of Labourer
Dhanda said the labourer was arrested because the Delhi Police “lacks the courage” to take action against the main contractor or the concerned Delhi Jal Board officials. He also accused the police of serious negligence, claiming that the victim’s family repeatedly approached authorities, but their complaint was not properly registered and even the mobile location of the deceased, Kamal, was not shared with them.
Dhanda questioned whether such officials should be rewarded
In a post on social media, Dhanda said a labourer was arrested because the Delhi Police “does not have the courage” to arrest the main contractor or the concerned officials of the Delhi Jal Board. He further accused the police of gross negligence, stating that the victim’s family kept running from pillar to post, yet the police neither registered their complaint properly nor even shared the mobile location of the deceased, Kamal, with the family.
Quoting a report by News Pinch, Dhanda questioned whether such officials should be rewarded, as the death of 25-year-old Kamal now appears to be pinned on a poor worker instead of those responsible for systemic failures.
The incident has once again raised concerns over accountability in civic negligence cases, with opposition leaders demanding strict action against contractors and government officials rather than symbolic arrests.
