Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has spoken to the mother of a man who was killed for allegedly celebrating the BJP’s victory in the state elections in Kushinagar and assured her that no culprits will be spared.
Speaking to deceased Babar Ali’s mother over the phone, the chief minister consoled her and said he was like her son too. He has also provided financial help of Rs 2 lakh to the family, with the district administration transferring the amount to the account of Fatima, Babar’s wife. Along with this, the district administration has also registered the names of other family members in the ration card to ensure that the benefits of the government’s welfare schemes reach Babar’s family.
Speaking to News18, Babar’s mother said: “My entire family is in shock and fear but we have got courage after talking to the chief minister.” She also expressed concern about Babar’s widow and son.
On Tuesday, the block chief of Khadda, Shashank Dubey, met the deceased’s family members and said the BJP will take care of them.
Babar, who hailed from Kushinagar district in Uttar Pradesh, died after he was allegedly roughed up by his neighbours for celebrating the BJP’s victory in the recently concluded state assembly elections. The incident took place on March 20, said police. The victim suffered grievous injuries and died during treatment at a Lucknow hospital on March 25.
