The Delhi Police faced numerous challenges throughout the year, including a deadly car bomb explosion near the Red Fort on November 10 that killed 15 and injured many, and a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on February 15 that claimed 18 lives. The force also dealt with the arrest of a serial killer known as 'Doctor Death' and the attack on Chief Minister Rekha Gupta in August. These events stretched police resources across intelligence, investigation, and public safety.
