Delhi Police Constable Kiranpal was tragically stabbed to death during a routine patrol in Govindpuri on November 23, 2024. The main suspect, Raghav alias Rocky, was killed in a police encounter later that night after he opened fire on officers. Another suspect, Deepak Max, was arrested after resisting arrest and sustaining a gunshot wound. This incident has raised urgent concerns about police safety and the need for improved security measures.

Details of the Incident 

Constable Kiranpal, 28, was attacked while on duty near Arya Samaj Mandir. He was found with multiple stab wounds and pronounced dead shortly after being taken to the hospital. Following the attack, police launched a manhunt for the suspects, leading to the identification of Raghav and Deepak.

Raghav was killed in an encounter with police in Sangam Vihar after he opened fire during an attempted arrest. Deepak was apprehended after a brief standoff where he fired at officers and was shot in the leg.

Context and Background 

This violent incident highlights ongoing concerns about police safety in Delhi. In recent months, there has been a troubling rise in attacks on law enforcement personnel, prompting discussions about their safety and effectiveness.

Just before Kiranpal’s murder, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had met with police officials to address law and order issues in the city. The recent spike in violence against officers has led to calls for better training and resources for police to handle such confrontations effectively.
