On May 15, 2026, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress launched a strong critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Delhi Police following a gang rape incident involving a 30-year-old woman in a moving bus in Delhi. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal expressed outrage on social media, emphasizing that the incident is reminiscent of the infamous Nirbhaya case, which highlighted severe lapses in women's safety. AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj detailed the incident, noting that the woman was abducted from a bus stop and assaulted for two hours while the bus traveled approximately 7 kilometers in the Rani Bagh area of central Delhi. Bharadwaj questioned the police's handling of the situation, particularly the delayed media disclosure about the incident. Congress leader Devender Yadav echoed these sentiments, asserting that the incident underscores the deteriorating law and order in the capital and urged the government to provide compensation to the victim and expedite the trial process. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2024 report indicated that Delhi had the highest rates of crimes against women among major cities, with significant numbers of rape, domestic violence, and other offenses reported.
