“Utterly shameful n disgusting dat BJP/RSS tryng 2 communlise unfortunat murder of Dr Narang. Ppl want peace, not hatrd,” Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday.

Narang was fatally assaulted by a group of men, allegedly from the Muslim community, outside his residence in west Delhi's Vikaspuri area on Wednesday night following a spat with two motorbike-borne men over rash driving in the colony's lanes.

A senior police officer clarified in her tweet that of the nine people apprehended for the murder, five were Hindus.

Also, one of the two motorbike-borne persons, with whom Narang had an argument initially, was a Hindu.

“Out of 9 accused person 5 r Hindu. At the moment of first scuffle, out of 2, 1 was Hindu. The Muslim accused r residents of UP, not Bangladesh,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (west) Monika Bhardwaj had earlier tweeted.
