Singh was shot dead by unidentified men in outer Delhi's Mianwali Nagar on April 30 when he was guarding an alleged criminal as per a court's directive.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal approved the compensation. Family members of Singh met the CM at his official residence in the morning.
The file pertaining to the compensation will now be forwarded to the finance department which will further forward it to the Lt Governor who is the final authority in these matters.
As per the existing scheme of the Delhi govenrment, ex- gratia payment is made in cases of defence, paramilitary forces, the Delhi Police, Home Guard, Civil Defence, Delhi Fire Service personnel dying in discharge of bonafide official duty.
Baijal had said Grewal's case does not qualify the parameters.
