Under attack in the wake of murder of a 19-year-old girl, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi on Sunday said he will try to dispel "misconceptions" about functioning of his force during his meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Kejriwal had on Saturday slammed Delhi Police for "deteriorating law and order situation" and summoned Bassi for a meeting on the issue.

"I will definitely go and meet him and will exchange our thoughts...There is a possibility of him telling something useful to us and may be I will give him something which will make him informative towards policing because I have been working for 38 years in the department.

"As a professional police officer it is my duty that I should remove any misconceptions about policing. I have a good opportunity with the meeting to clear misconception if any," he told reporters.

AAP has been at loggerheads with Delhi Police over a number of issues and the party has stepped up its attack against it after arrest of its two MLAs. It has been accusing Delhi Police of bias against it saying its MLAs are being targeted under political pressure.
