A DCP from Delhi has been helping to keep a family of five in Jammu going after their sole breadwinner was murdered in Delhi.
Delhi DCP (Northwest) Aslam Khan has been sending half of her salary every month to the family residing in RS Pura's Flora village in Jammu and Kashmir. She also speaks to the family every day to make sure they are safe and doing okay.
I somehow got in contact with them and realised that they are very poor. So since February onwards, I started sending them a part of my salary. I’ve also been approached by people who want to help them.Aslam Khan, Delhi DCP (Northwest) told ANI
The family’s breadwinner was a truck driver who was murdered in Delhi’s Jahagirpuri on 9 January 2018. Sardar Maan Singh was killed by a group of robbers, leaving his family helpless. During this time, Aslam Khan contacted the family and decided to help them, reports ANI.
“We were scared, but Ma'am started helping us and we are thankful to her”, the family told ANI.
The 42-year-old truck driver is survived by his wife, two daughters, and a son, who are being taken care of by DCP Khan.
