AAP Worker Shot Dead in Delhi
A woman named Rachna Yadav, who was a worker for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the president of her local neighborhood group, was shot and killed outside her home in Delhi.
The police think her murder is connected to the killing of her husband, Vijendra Yadav, which happened in 2023.
Rachna was supposed to be a key witness in the trial for her husband's murder.
The main suspect, Bharat Yadav, is still missing.
The AAP party leader, Arvind Kejriwal, said that this shows that there is no safety in Delhi and that the government is not doing its job to keep people safe.
The police are looking into all possible reasons for the murder.
Rachna Yadav, a 44-year-old AAP worker and president of her local Resident Welfare Association, was shot and killed outside her home in Shalimar Bagh, northwest Delhi.
Police suspect her murder is linked to the 2023 killing of her husband, Vijendra Yadav, and her role as a key witness in the ongoing trial.
The main suspect, Bharat Yadav, remains absconding and has been declared a proclaimed offender.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal condemned the murder, alleging a 'complete breakdown of law and order' in Delhi under BJP rule.
The Delhi Police are investigating all possible angles in the case, including the connection to her husband's murder.
