A job for the bereaved wife, free education for the daughter for as long as she continues studying, and lifetime security for the surviving family members: the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced a series of assurances to the family of the three men killed in the Saadatganj triple murder over a parking dispute on Monday.
The announcements came after four to five hours of discussions involving the family, senior Lucknow Police and district administration officials, and the mayor, amid heavy security deployment after the kin asked for multiple demands before cremation. Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak later arrived with BJP state vice-president Neeraj Singh, Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, CP Tarun Gauba, DM Vishkh G and met the bereaved family.
The government would seek a fast-track court for the case, while illegal constructions would be removed, he added.
Pathak also promised lifetime security for the family and said action would be initiated under the National Security Act (NSA) against all the accused. After the meeting, the family said its demands had been met and prepared to take the bodies to Gulala Ghat for cremation.
