- AAP holds Delhi Police accountable for a girl’s death at a Satya Niketan PG
- MLA Anil Sharma accused of illegal construction and land scam
- Similar complaints filed four years ago received no action
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) organized a large‑scale protest in Satya Niketan, South Delhi, over the death of a girl in a local paying‑guest (PG) facility. AAP Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj demanded that the police release full information, accusing them of “hiding” the incident.
Protest Details
Bharadwaj, flanked by party workers, chanted slogans against BJP MLA Anil Sharma and the Delhi Police. He asked, “Why is the police silent on the entire matter? Shouldn’t they tell us whether the girl fell to her death in the nearby PG?”
Allegations Against MLA Anil Sharma
The AAP highlighted a written complaint filed four years ago by the Ambedkar Kalyan Samiti, accusing Sharma of encroaching on government land and constructing an illegal “five‑star” PG in Satya Niketan. According to Bharadwaj, neither the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) nor the police acted on that complaint.
Historical Background
On September 6, a five‑storey building housing a boys’ hostel in a cramped by‑lane of Satya Niketan collapsed, killing seven people. Since that tragedy, AAP has repeatedly alleged that Sharma and other politicians own multiple illegal establishments in the area, which they claim are being shielded by authorities.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that repeated allegations of illegal constructions by political figures, coupled with alleged police inaction, erode public trust in governance and highlight systemic issues in urban land regulation in Delhi.
“Without decisive action against politically‑connected illegal constructions, Delhi’s urban safety will remain compromised.” – Urban planning expert Dr. Ravi Singh
