A post about the Mandir Marg police station has triggered a wave of reactions on social media after Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) wrote on X that 11 children are currently under arrest there, and that he was heading to Mandir Marg himself at that very moment to get them released. The post spread quickly once it went up, with many users sharing it and weighing in with their own reactions.
What the post said
Arvind Kejriwal wrote plainly that a total of 11 children have been arrested and are being held at the Mandir Marg police station. He said he was leaving for Mandir Marg right away so that all of these children could be released. The post did not specify the exact reason for the arrests, the children's ages, or their identities, but he made clear that he was personally stepping into the matter and would work for the children's release once he reached the spot. He did not name any other leader, organisation or police official in the post, taking on the responsibility of sharing this update directly in his own words, and in doing so tied himself closely to the unfolding situation.
A complaint about a missing child
In the same post, Arvind Kejriwal raised another serious concern. He wrote that a complaint had also been received about a child who is missing. According to him, efforts were continuously being made to get information from the police about this child, to find out where the child is and what the current situation is regarding their safety. The post did not clarify whether this missing child is one of the same 11 who were arrested or is linked to an entirely separate case, which makes this part of the situation even more serious. What is clear is that the attempts to get answers from the police on this complaint have not stopped and are said to be ongoing.
A number shared for help
Towards the end of the post, Arvind Kejriwal wrote that he stands with the people affected, and that anyone facing any kind of difficulty could reach out on a specific number that was shared. This contact number or link appears to have been put out specifically for families and individuals seeking information or assistance related to the arrested children or the missing child. Such numbers are typically shared so that affected families can reach out directly and feel assured that their concern will be heard, and the post's message was that no affected family would be left to deal with the situation alone.
Why this matters
Complaints involving the arrest of minors and a missing child are generally treated as highly sensitive, since they touch on both the safety of children and their legal rights. In such situations, families want quick access to the children and accurate information, which is why Arvind Kejriwal said he was going to the spot himself and staying in continuous touch with the police. However, since the post does not spell out exactly what case led to the arrests, there is no official confirmation or detailed information publicly available on that front for now, leaving both curiosity and concern among the public.
Public reaction
The post drew a mixed response on social media. A section of users voiced support for the effort to get the children released, while several others were critical and raised pointed questions about the post. Some sought clarity on the reasons behind the arrests, while others questioned the motive behind the whole episode, turning the post into a major talking point online.
