New Delhi: NDMC vice-chairman Karan Singh Tanwar today accused the AAP government of making "false promises" to killed NDMC officer MM Khan's family and alleged that they have not given the compensation of Rs 1 crore announced by them.

Mr Tanwar, a former BJP legislator said irrespective of Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung sanctioning one crore for the kin of Mr Khan almost one and a half months back, the money has not been given to them.

"BJP government has already given a sum of Rs 25 lakh along with a Type III quarter in Lutyen's Zone on a monthly rental of Rs 500 and a job to his wife as Assistant Social Education Officer equivalent to the same status and grade pay as that of Mr Khan.
     
"NDMC employees have also given a day's salary amounting to Rs 35 lakh to his family," he said.

Mr Khan was shot dead in Jamia Nagar a day before he was scheduled to pass the final order on the lease terms of hotel 'The Connaught' which was functioning on a property of the NDMC (New Delhi Municipal Corporation), on May 16.
