One arrested in killing of MCD sanitation worker in Kalyanpuri
Police on Monday, August 17, arrested a man in connection with the killing of a 27-year-old MCD sanitation worker in the Kalyanpuri area, though they have not yet disclosed his identity.
The worker, identified as Anil, was a contractual sanitation worker engaged by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) through a private company. Police said he was allegedly stabbed while collecting garbage in Kalyanpuri around 8.15 am on Sunday, August 16, and was rushed to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police said the motive behind the killing was yet to be ascertained and that all possible angles were being examined, with further investigation underway.
A purported CCTV video of the incident that circulated on social media showed a man in a yellow T-shirt allegedly approaching Anil after a brief verbal spat and stabbing him in the stomach, police said.
Sanitation workers and auto-tipper drivers from across Delhi had earlier protested at Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital on Monday, August 17, demanding Rs 1 crore compensation and a permanent government job for a member of the deceased's family.
