An AAP jingle has been taken off air by the FM radio channels after objections from Delhi Police which claimed that its content was defamatory.

The advertisement has a woman named Ritu saying she had gone to a police station to file a complaint against molestation but police refused to register a case. After this, the woman appeals to the public to vote Arvind Kejriwal to power so that such a situation is prevented.

While the AAP-contracted agency has taken the advertisement off air, the party maintained that if the Delhi Police had a problem with its image being sullied, taking an ad off air would change little. Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia said, “There are numerous complainants in Delhi whose FIRs are not registered. I know examples from my constituency and from media reports. The AAP has not hurt the image of the police. The police’s image will improve when they improve their efficiency.”

Police on Friday asked radio channels to take the commercial off air if it was not genuine and categorically sought details on the identity of the woman voicing it. “We have objected to the radio jingle in which a woman alleges that police did not take adequate action on her complaint of molestation. We have asked channels to provide us details such as who the woman is and whether her complaint was actual or imagined for the sake of advertisement,” Delhi Police in-charge of media relations said.
