The Union urban development minister accompanied by Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari met the family members of the victim. He also visited the spot outside the metro station where Ravinder (32) was beaten to death by a dozen men on Saturday evening.
"Naidu gave a Rs 50,000 cheque from his own account to the wife of the deceased as an interim relief. We have also talked to the commissioner of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation for providing a job for her," Tiwari said.
Tiwari said, "The irony is that the spot where the e- rickshaw driver was beaten to death is hardly a few metres away from a Sulabh Shauchalaya complex. It is perhaps the first case where someone has given his life in the country for promoting cleanliness and sanitation and we are committed to support Ravinder's family."
Earlier in the day, Naidu had asked the Delhi Police chief to take stern action against those involved in the killing.

He said he has spoken with Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik and asked him to take the "strongest action possible" against the culprits.
Ravinder, who lived in a slum near the GTB Nagar Metro Station, got married last year. His wife is seven months pregnant.
The police said that no arrests have been made so far in the incident though a few men have been picked up for questioning.
