Govt job to kin of IB officer who died in riots

New Delhi: Under the chairmanship of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi cabinet on Friday decided to provide a government

job

to Ankur Sharma who is the

brother

of Intelligence Bureau employee Ankit Sharma. Ankit lost his life during the clashes that ripped through northeast Delhi in February 2020.

The proposal was approved and now will be sent to the lieutenant governor Anil Baijal for the final approval. “Earlier the BJP-led central

government

promised to provide a job to a member of late Ankit Sharma’s family, but eventually denied any such opportunity. Now the Kejriwal government will be providing a job to his brother,” the government said in a statement.

Earlier, while meeting the family of the late IB officer, Kejriwal promised a government job to one of the members. The CM had also provided the family financial assistance of Rs 1 crore.
