Kejriwal seeks CBI probe into Dalit youth's death in police chowki

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday sought a CBI probe into the mysterious death of Dalit youth inside a police chowki in Jhajjar town of Haryana last week.

Kejriwal visited the family of the deceased, Rajesh Kumar, in Jhajjar and accused the authorities of trying to hush up the case.

Describing the 22-year-old's death as a "cold-blooded" murder, Kejriwal said, "I met his (Kumar's) mother. She told me that the police had picked him up as a witness in some case. He was not at fault, there was no FIR against him. In the police station, in a way, he has been murdered and now they are trying to hush up the matter by saying it was a case of suicide,"
He also alleged that many incidents against Dalits had been reported in Haryana and they should be given security."My demand from (Chief Minister Manohar Lal) Khattar sahab is that Dalits be given security, especially this family. This family should also be given adequate compensation, a job should also be given to one member and they should be given justice."
