AAP MP Sanjay Singh has raised questions on law and order of the national capital.

“The brazen murder of Ashok Mann after an attack on Mehrauli MLA Naresh Yadav- this is the rule of law in Delhi, Naresh Yadav was returning from a temple,” AAP leader Sanjay Singh tweeted in Hindi.

Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party surged to power in Delhi for a third term today, boosted by a massive mandate of 62 seats – just a shade lower than its record 67 seats of 2015. The BJP won 8 seats. The Congress failed to open its account, second time in a row.

Naresh Yadav, the Mehrauli MLA, defeated BJP’s Kusum Khatri with a margin of 18,161 votes.
