Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Tuesday replied to Arvind Kejriwal&#39;s letter on the theft of his Wagon R car, saying the chief minister was expected to cooperate with policemen in their efforts to ensure parking of vehicles in designated places.

The iconic blue Wagon R associated with Kejriwal was stolen from outside the Delhi Secretariat on October 12 and was found abandoned in Ghaziabad two days later.

On October 13, Kejriwal had written to the Lieutenant Governor, saying the theft of his car pointed towards the rapidly &quot;deteriorating&quot; law and order situation in the national capital.

In his letter to Kejriwal, Baijal wrote, &quot;Hope that the CM would not only cooperate with Delhi Police in its efforts to motivate and encourage residents of Delhi to park their vehicles in authorised parking sites and install security equipments, but also boost the morale of its policemen by appreciating their commendable efforts that led to the recovery of his stolen car within two days.&quot;

&quot;The Delhi Police Commissioner submitted a status report apprising about several teams constituted in search of the car. Intense scanning of CCTVs, checks in parking places were carried out and all the picket staff were put on alert,&quot; Baijal said, emphasising that all these efforts led to recovery of the car within two days.

Baijal said he regularly reviewed law and order situation of Delhi and various decisions were taken in meetings with the police commissioner and other&nbsp;senior officers.

The Wagon R car was registered in the name of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and was now being used by the party&#39;s media coordinator Vandana. It was earlier used by Kejriwal.

The vehicle was &quot;donated&quot; to Kejriwal by Kundan Sharma, a software engineer, in January 2013.&nbsp;

However, when Kejriwal parted ways with his then party colleagues Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, Sharma demanded that the vehicle be returned.

Even after Kejriwal became the chief minister in December 2013, he refused to use an official car and preferred his old Wagon R.

Chief Minister expected to encourage parking in designated places: Delhi Lt Governor

Delhi Police said today that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal blue Wagon R,<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/kejriwals-blue-wagon-r-stolen-22351"> which was stolen from outside the Delhi Secretariat two days ago</a>, has been found abandoned in Ghaziabad.

The Delhi Police said that the motive seemed to be &quot;joy ride&quot; since the car had no security devices and it was easy to steal.

&ldquo;Prima facie looks like case of joy ride with motive to park car at another spot. The car had no security devices &amp; it was easy to steal it. We are investigating along the lines of someone knowing about this.&rdquo; 
The Delhi Police said their counterparts in Ghaziabad got in touch with them regarding the car.

&quot;A blue Wagon R has been found abandoned by Ghaziabad police and we think it is the chief minister&#39;s car,&quot; said a senior police officer.

The police are verifying its engine and chassis numbers.

Yesterday, in a letter to Lt Governor Anil Baijal, the Delhi chief minister said the theft was reflective of the rapidly &quot;deteriorating&quot; law and order situation in the national capital.

The incident had outraged AAP workers, many of whom posted videos of Kejriwal using the car, especially on Republic Day in 2014, after he became the chief minister of Delhi for the first time.

The hatchback was witness to two assembly election wins in 2013 and 2015 and also to the party&#39;s poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls.

The hatchback was being used by an AAP functionary before it was stolen. &nbsp;Kejriwal used the car earlier and it helped cement his position as the &quot;aam aadmi&quot;.

It was &quot;donated&quot; to Kejriwal by Kundan Sharma, a software engineer, in January 2013. However, when Kejriwal parted ways with his then party colleagues Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, Sharma demanded that the vehicle be returned.
