AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Gupta today met the family of the victim, a photographer, and said the "Delhi government will extend all help to the family, whether it is medical aid or financial assistance".
Ankit Saxena was killed in west Delhi's Khyala area on Thursday night allegedly by the family members of a woman with whom he was in a relationship for three years.
"May God grant solace to Ankit's family. We are with them in this struggle," he said.
The woman's family opposed her relationship with Ankit Saxena as the two belonged to different communities. The woman's father, mother and uncle have been arrested in connection with the killing. Her minor brother has been held, police said.
Rajya Sabha member Gupta, after meeting the family, told reporters, "The CM has sent us here. This morning the CM had a talk with his (victim's) father. He (Kejriwal) wanted to come himself, but he was going to Haridwar, so he said that he will meet the family after returning to Delhi."
"The government is standing with the entire family. And, we will try to ensure that strongest action is taken against the culprit. And, whatever possible help is needed, we will will extend that," Gupta said.
Asked about the compensation, the Rajya Sabha member said, "The chief minister will take a decision on that.
