Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday wrote to Lt Governor Anil Baijal, requesting him to direct the city police commissioner to carry out a fair probe into a fatal road accident at Windsor Place on June 30.
A 36-year-old man, Dheeraj, was killed in the incident after being hit by a speeding car.
Kejriwal also wrote to Chief Secretary Vijay Kumar Dev asking him to get magisterial enquiry done in this case and ensure that police conducts a fair and expeditious investigation.
The move came after the deceased's brother met the chief minister and submitted a written complaint to him. He said it was not a case of road accident and alleged that Dheeraj was instead "murdered" as the car "deliberately" hit his vehicle.
In letters to the LG and CS, Kejriwal said the CCTV footage of the incident indicates towards the possibility of murder of Dheeraj.
