“All persons are known to each other and live in the same locality. Any other motive alluded to this incident is factually wrong”, said the Delhi Police.
Rinku Sharma (25), a BJP worker, was working as a Lab Technician at a private hospital. Danish and Islam work as tailors, while Zahid is a college student and Mehtab is a Class 12 student.
However, the family members of Rinku Sharma rejected the claims made by Delhi Police and said they had no eatery business (restaurant). Rinku’s brother, a VHP member claimed that there was good relation between the victim and accused, which was strained on the issue of Ram Mandir.
Following the outrage, Chinmoy Biswal, DCP, Delhi Police, has said that they are in touch with the victim’s family and are probing other angles too.
