The Delhi government on Saturday announced it was providing security to the family of the dentist who was brutally murdered by a group of goons in West Delhi on Thursday.

Delhi chief minister Arv-ind Kejriwal said, “Friends and neighbours of Dr Narang met me today and requested police protection for family and police patrolling in the area. I spoke to the lieutenant-governor, who immediately agreed. They also advised me to visit the family after a few days as family was in shock right now.”

A senior police officer claimed the matter was communicated to the police, following which some cops were deployed outside Dr Narang’s house.

40-year-old Pankaj Narang was dragged out of his house on Thursday by a group of criminals from nearby slum before being brutally killed.

Dr Narag’s death has caused huge outrage on social media.

On Facebook and Twitter, netizens were writing about the incident.

“Shocking!!Gruesome!!!Scary!!!! Yes for you and for me, for the average middle class person who does not form a part of any votebank neither does have money to hire 24/7 security, equi-pped to fight off a violent mob,” read a Facebook status.

Another tweet said, “Juvenile or not, these criminals need to feel the heat of the law... Delhi Police response time needs to be set and monitored. Why is it that a pizza gets delivered sooner than the police.”

Mr Kejriwal on Saturday had praised the city cops for its good work.

“Proud of such police officers for bringing truth out and thwarting attempts by some people to give it communal colour,” he had tweeted.
