The double murder case in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar has taken a significant turn with the apprehension of the main suspect. BJP MLA Tarvinder Singh Marwah praised the Delhi police for their prompt action, acknowledging that multiple teams quickly located and arrested the accused.

Simultaneously, AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized Delhi's resource allocation, arguing that police are focused on 'political work,' diverting from crucial law enforcement duties. Bharadwaj pointed out that a shortage of officers remains unaddressed due to prolonged recruitment delays by the Centre.

Police reports revealed that the victims, a 42-year-old woman and her 14-year-old son, were found slain at their residence. The suspect, Mukesh from Bihar, was detained by Uttar Pradesh police. Investigations continue as political leaders debate security and law enforcement policies.
