Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today alleged that Delhi Police is "openly flouting" Supreme Court orders and wondered what instructions Commissioner BS Bassi has from his "bosses" after an attack on JNUSU leader Kanhaiya Kumar and mediapersons at Patiala Court premises.

The chief minister also said he has sought time from the President to discuss the law and order situation in the national capital. The Commissioner is acting "brazenly", Kejriwal alleged while seeking to know what was the "source of his (Bassi's) confidence".

"Delhi police openly flouting SC orders. Bassi acting so brazenly. What is source of his confidence? What instructions does he have from his bosses?," Kejriwal tweeted. In another tweet, he said, "Delhi law and order situation fast deteriorating. Have sought time from Hon'ble President to discuss the situation."
