ASI Dayal was originally from Rajasthan and was posted in West Delhi, posted at the Mayapuri police station. ASI later succumbed to his injuries and his last rites were performed on January 8. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced an ex-gratia of Rs 1 crore for the family of Delhi Police assistant sub-inspector Shambhu Dayal, who died after being stabbed by a snatcher in the Mayapuri area here.
The entire country is proud of him, Kejriwal said. He said, “There was an ASI in Delhi Police named Shambhu Dayal. On January 4, he was sent on a case. A woman came to the police station and complained that someone had snatched her husband’s mobile. The SHO there asked ASI Shambhu Dayal ji to go with the woman and investigate the incident,” Kejriwal said. The chief minister said the policeman took the complainant to the locality to identify the accused person. The woman pointed out the accused and he was caught by the ASI.
“While he was taking the accused to the police station, the accused pulled out a knife which he had kept hidden under his shirt, and stabbed him. ASI Shambhu Dayal was taken to the BLK Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,” Kejriwal said. A video of the incident showed the ASI trying to overpower the snatcher despite being stabbed.
Also, Delhi is hit by a slew of crimes and the recent murder of Anjali reaffirms Delhi’s status as India’s most unsafe city for women, too.
