March 26, 2016 22:39

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh of "communalising" the road rage incident, which resulted in death of a 40-year-old dentist Pankaj Narang in Vikapuri area.

The Aam Aadmi Party also demanded that those attempting to "vitiate the atmosphere" using social media should be booked for spreading communal hatred. The party alleged that Narang also tried to call up the police control room and said there is lack of proper police patrolling, particularly at night hours.

"Utterly shameful n disgusting dat BJP/RSS tryng 2 communlise unfortunat murder of Dr Narang. Ppl want peace,not hatred (Sic)," Kejriwal tweeted.

Since Friday, social media was abuzz with rumours that people from a certain community, who were alleged to be migrants from Bangladesh, were involved in the murder of Narang.

The BJP hit back alleging that it was a "pre-planned murder". They also asked why Kejriwal has not visited the residence of Dr Narang so far.

In a shocking incident, the 40-year-old dentist was dragged out of his house and beaten to death with bats, iron roads and hockey sticks by a group of 12 people following an argument over a bike grazing the doctor's child on Wednesday night.
