Tiwari’s remarks came a day after Ankit Saxena was killed in a case of honour killing in Delhi’s Khyala area on Thursday night.
The Delhi BJP chief also said he would visit Saxena’s family.
Saxena was allegedly killed by the family of a woman he was in a relationship with. According to the Delhi police, the woman’s family was against their relationship as they belonged to different communities and had told him to end it.
