Father demands CBI probe; CM seeks ‘harshest’ and ‘swiftest action’ against accused

The day also saw a few members of a right-wing political outfit holding a meeting with Memraj and other family members. Politicians, including Kamaljeet Sehrawat, BJP MP from West Delhi, and Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh, also met the family.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, on her X account, said, “The heinous murder of an innocent young man in Uttam Nagar, Delhi, on the auspicious occasion of Holi, is extremely tragic, reprehensible, and shakes the entire society.”

“There is a zero-tolerance policy for such heinous, criminal, and violent incidents in Delhi. Such brutality will not be tolerated under any circumstances. The administration has been given clear and strict instructions to immediately arrest all the perpetrators involved in this crime and ensure the harshest and swiftest action under the law against them. Strict and exemplary action will be taken in this case so that no one dares to commit such inhumane acts in the future,” she added.

Sehrawat told mediapersons, “It is very shameful, when a child hits someone by mistake and such an incident takes place. We came here to console the family. The accused will not be spared at any cost.”

Pankaj Singh, the MLA from Vikaspuri, added, “I met the victim’s family and offered them my condolences and support during this difficult time. The murder of a promising young man on the sacred festival of Holi is extremely condemnable and unfortunate.”
