The Delhi Congress on Monday demanded that the Delhi Government pay Rs1 crore compensation and a permanent job to the next of kin of the DTC driver who died after being thrashed in a road rage incident at Mundka.

“The DTC bus driver’s family should be given Rs1 crore as compensation and his next of his kin should be given a permanent job in DTC,” said Delhi Congress’ chief spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee, adding, “The entire incident is deplorable.”

Meanwhile, on the issue of a circular sent out by the Delhi Government which threatens action against the media for any defamatory news, the Congress said that the move was against the principles of Freedom of Expression enshrined in the Constitution.
