NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight condemned the killing of an E-rickshaw driver in Delhi for stopping two men from urinating in public and directed the authorities to punish the culprits.
Modi, who is on a four-nation tour, also sanctioned Rs.1 lakh from the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) as ex-gratia to the next of the kin of the 32-year-old driver Ravindra Kumar who was beaten to death for espousing the ‘Swachha Bharat’, an official spokesman said here.
“The prime Minister condemned the incident and directed the authorities to bring to book and punish the culprits for committing such inhuman act,” the spokesman said.
Kumar was beaten to death last night allegedly by a dozen men after he objected to two of them urinating outside the GTB Nagar Metro Station, according to the police. (AGENCIES)
