New Delhi: Family members of a 34-year-old man, who was allegedly shot dead by drug mafia in southeast Delhi's Taimoor Nagar last month, Wednesday met Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who assured them of all possible help from the AAP government.

According to MLA Amanatullah Khan, the Chief Minister assured Rupesh Kumar’s family that the AAP government will take care of education of his children, Rs 5 lakh as compensation and a job to his wife in civil defence. 

Khan said the family, accompanied by representatives of around 300 villages, met the Chief Minister at his official residence in the morning.
