    Hello. I want to say to our Delhi Police Commissioner Sahib, Sanjay Arora Sahib and our Home Minister of India Sahib and our Prime Minister of India Modi Sahib and our Home Department officers and our Delhi Police Department officers, are all one? If IPS does bad to anyone, there is no punishment for him, I am sad. I am asking for justice from you people. For one and a half years, but sir you people are not doing justice to me and I want to tell you. Delhi Police Commissioner Saheb Sanjay Arora Saheb, I have come to meet you many times and I also got the pass made, but till date you have not given me time to meet you nor have you met me. I had also come to meet you on 19 10 2023 and the vigilance people had also made a pass for me. to meet you. But none of the officers were found by me. Is this right? I am sad about this. If a civilian does anything bad, he gets death penalty and Jatin Narwal IPS destroyed my family. My business has been ended and there is no punishment for Jatinder people and you people don't even have time to meet me. Is companionship a good thing? Sir, the Constitution of our country says that if an IPS does bad things to someone, then there is no punishment for him and if a civilian does bad things to someone, then he gets death sentence. Sir, where is the justice in this? I want to ask you people. I also want to ask you this. Don't I have a human right to live my life? Sir, today our law remains only in books. Not to give justice to the people. I am sad sir, I have complained to you many times about Jatin Narwal IPS. But till date you people have not done justice to me, nor have you taken any action against Jatin Narwal IPS, nor have you given time to meet me.
