Commenting on the situation, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay slammed AAP for being ignorant and anti-woman character.”It may be recalled this girl had been raising issue of her harassment for months but AAP leaders ignored. This incident has established the anti-woman character of AAP,” Upadhyay said. 

“Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and local MLA Sharad Chauhan are responsible for her death,” he added.

However, AAP denied the allegations and instead blamed BJP for playing dirty politics.

“There is no mention of the MLA’s name in any of the complainants. Whosoever is alleged to have harassed the girl has no connection with the party. The BJP should not stoop this low and play politics over the death of a poor girl. We also want action against the culprit,” Deepak Bajpai, AAP spokesperson told reporters.
