Manhunt launched, Bikram Majithia blames AAP
Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects and secured the crime scene shortly after.
The killing sparked strong criticism from SAD's Bikram Singh Majithia, who blamed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for rising crime.
Majithia said law and order has collapsed under the AAP administration and added that homicides have risen sharply under the ruling government.
