The ruling party of Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party, has demanded that the Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung step down immediately and be placed under arrest. This comes days after demanding the arrest of BJP's Maheish Girri over the murder of NDMC officer MM Khan. According to the AAP, there was enough evidence to link Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung to the case.

The Lieutenant Governor's office, in a statement said, "Everyone understands the claims of the Aam Aadmi Party are frivolous and therefore the attempt to draw political mileage from this tragedy is sad."
