New Delhi, Feb 4 (IBNS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday condemned the killing of Hindu man Ankit Saxena allegedly by the family of a Muslim girl he was dating.

Kejriwal assured that stern action would be taken against the accused in the case allegedly related to 'honour killing'.

" Spoke to Ankit’s father. What happened is absolutely condemnable.  Delhi government will ensure that the best lawyer is hired to fight the case and ensure that Ankit gets justice.  We will make every possible effort that the accused in the case get a strict punishment. May god give strength to the family of Ankit. We are with them in this struggle for justice," Kejriwal tweeted.

According to reports, Saxena was attacked on Thursday night near his home by the girl's family.

The police have arrested the parents and an uncle of the girl and detained a minor allegedly involved in the incident, media reported.

Police have stepped up security in the area to avoid any further conflict in the area.
