Friends and neighbours of dentist Pankaj Narang, who was beaten to death in West Delhi’s Vikaspuri area on Wednesday over an allegedly trivial reason, met Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday, asking for security.
After the meeting, Mr. Kejriwal took to Twitter to announce that he had spoken to Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung with regard to the issue and that he had “immediately agreed to it.”
The Chief Minister also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) of stoking communal sentiments over the murder of the 40-year-old doctor.
“Friends n neighbours of Dr Narang met me today n requested police protection for family n police patrolling in area (sic),” Mr. Kejriwal tweeted adding, “I spoke to L-G, who immediately agreed. They also advised me to visit the family after a few days as family was in shock rt now (sic).”
