New Delhi: The Delhi government on Tuesday finalised the names of eight Delhi Police personnel who died on duty for the grant of ex-gratia of Rs 1 crore each to their families.
“Delhi government today has cleared names of eight Delhi Police personnel for grant of ex gratia of Rs 1 crore who died while performing bonafide official duty,” Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot tweeted.
The decision was taken at a meeting held at the Delhi Secretariat chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
“They are families of Vijay Singh, ASI, Jeetender, ASI, Mahavir Singh, ASI, Guljhari Lal, Head Constable, Raj Pal Singh Kasana, Head Constable, Khajan Singh, SI, Dharambir Singh, ASI (Exe.), and Amarpal, Constable,” the government said in a statement.
Sisodia directed the officials to immediately go ahead with the ex-gratia payment to the grieving families.
Vijay Singh, ASI, was performing the duties of Personal Security Officer of Bhupender Singh on the orders of the Delhi High Court. He was accompanying Bhupender Singh on April 30, 2019, when miscreants came on a motorcycle and opened fire at them. Vijay Singh sustained injuries and later died.
