Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh today met the grieving family of Gajendra Singh, the farmer who allegedly hanged himself from a tree at Jantar Mantar in Delhi where AAP's farmers' rally was in progress.
Singh visited Nangal Jhamarwada village in Bandikui area of Dausa district and met with Singh's children and other family members.
After sitting quietly for a while before the daughter and sons of the deceased farmer, Singh went inside a room to meet his father, wife and other members.
He consoled the family members there.
Earlier, the family had rejected an apology by Arvind Kejriwal for continuing with the AAP rally in Delhi, while the farmer hanged himself to death and demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
"What will happen now after this apology? My brother has died. Kejriwal did not stop the rally for even two minutes after the incident," the farmer's sister Rekha told reporters in the village.
