New Delhi, June 23

Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) chairman  Dr Zafrul Islam has written to CM Arvind Kejriwal, reminding him about a yet to be paid compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the family of an honour killing victim, Ankit Saxena. 

Dr Islam wrote, the victim's father, Yashpal Saxena, was left to fend for the family in his old age. Khan said Ankit, who was a photographer, was the sole bread winner of the family. "Kejriwal had visited the family and a compensation of Rs 5 lakh was promised to the affected family. But, the promise has not been redeemed so far," the letter said.

Dr Islam said the letter has been written to the CM to "remind" him of the "promise" of Rs 5 lakh compensation and also to urge him to raise the amount to Rs 20 lakh so that the elderly parents of the victim have some meaningful support in their old age.

Khan also lauded the victim's father for not communalising the murder of his son and urging the people to maintain calm. — TNS
