Delhi BJP today offered a job in a municipal hospital to the wife of dentist Pankaj Narang, who was allegedly beaten to death by a group of people in the city recently.

Delhi BJP President Satish Upadhyay made the offer to Shelly Narang to work in a party-controlled South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) hospital on humanitarian ground, according to an official statement.

Pankaj Narang was allegedly beaten to death by a group of people on March 23 night in west Delhi's Vikaspuri area.

Upadhyay said during a visit by party leaders to Narang family's home yesterday, the local RWA office-bearers had put across three demands to them related to security issues in the colony. They had also talked to the Delhi Police Commissioner and the Mayor and Commissioner of the SDMC about it.
 

"Police Commissioner has assured that a police picket point shall be ordered for the colony (Krishna Park) immediately. SDMC has assured all help in putting up security gates and setting up a CCTV network to ensure safety of the residents," Upadhyay was quoted as saying in the statement.

Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said he would meet Lt Governor Najeeb Jung tomorrow to demand appropriate compensation and speedy justice for Pankaj Narang's famil.

The case needs to be dealt in a fast-track court, he was quoted as saying in a statement.

He said the delegation would also demand security for the family.

Narang was dragged out of his Vikaspuri house late on March 23 night and beaten to death with bats, iron rods and hockey sticks by a group of 12 people.

The incident took place when Narang was playing cricket with his eight-year-old son and a nephew in a small space outside his house when the ball allegedly hit two men who were passing by on a motorcycle.

Nine persons including a woman and four juveniles have been arrested by the police.
