After a guy posing as a lawyer shot a woman on Friday, chaos was seen inside the Saket court complex in South Delhi. The accused, a former advocate, opened fire on the victim many times, spreading fear throughout the neighborhood.
Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and the AAP's national convenor, reacted angrily to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's handling of the law and order situation in the nation's capital after the Saket court firing.
Former attorney Kameshwar Prasad Singh is the person in question. Because of another issue, the Saket court bar association suspended him. The defendant allegedly gave the woman, M Radha, a loan of Rs 25 lakh. Singh filed a cheating complaint against the woman after she refused to repay the money, and the hearing was set for this coming Friday.

The attacker showed up at the courthouse disguised as a lawyer. Four to five bullets were fired in total, according to an eyewitness. The accused then left the scene through the building's back entrance. The individual was taken into custody after the police inquired into the incident.
The woman had gunshot wounds to her hand and abdomen, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chandan Chowdhary. Her condition was stable after she was admitted to Max Hospital in Saket.
Following the event, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticized the Delhi L-G, claiming that the national capital's law and order had entirely collapsed. He questioned, "L-G sir, what's happening in our Delhi?" while showing a video of the incident.
"Delhi's law and order situation has totally collapsed. Everyone should concentrate on their own work rather than interfering with the work of others and playing dirty politics with everything. If someone is unable to handle it, they should step down and allow someone else to handle it. People's safety cannot be left up to divine whim, CM Kejriwal stated in a tweet.
Leaders of the AAP Saurabh Bharadwaj and Atishi also criticized Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena over the episode involving the Saket court shooting.
"The LG only has two positions: DDA and Police. The peace and order situation in Delhi has gotten worse since the new LG gentleman arrived. In courts, firearms are discharged. According to Saurabh Bharadwaj, the cops are complicit in a 350-crore corruption scheme.
Atishi, the education minister, referred to the occurrence as "shameful" and questioned the safety of women in the city.
"We are all aware that Delhi has never been a secure place for women. In a place that was heavily guarded, a woman was shot several times. The incident happened during the day, in a safe place, and in the nation's capital. This action cannot be more deplorable, she stated during a press conference.
