New Delhi, December 15:

The Aam Admi Party jingles have been banned by the Delhi Police, saying that it is defamimg their force. The radio stations have complied with the police direction and stopped playing the jingle from Friday evening. The police have further directed the radio stations to take clearance before playing any such jingles in future.

In the radio jingle, a woman is heard saying that some young men eve-teased her and passed lewd comments while she was on her way back home from tuition classes. She goes on to claim that she went to the police station to register a complaint, but the policemen kept asking her questions related to the incident. Fed up with the questions, she decides to come out of the police station without registering a complaint.

“For the past few days, the AAP has been running a radio jingle on most radio channels defaming the police. When it came to our notice, we asked all the radio stations to stop playing the jingle,” confirmed a senior police officer.

In the light of the Uber rape case, the jingle was played on the radio stations, wherein the victim urges people to bring back Arvind Kejriwal. “Bring back Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, he will ensure that the city is a safer place for women and no such incidents will happen,” the jingle says.

In the meantime, the police have planned to approach the AAP to verify whether the girl in the advertisement is a real victim or a character of fiction.
