When Kapil Mishra had met Sharma's family, he alleged that the youth was targeted and killed for taking part in the collection of donation for Ram temple construction in Ayodhya.
Police has denied any communal angle in the murder of the youth in Mangolpuri last week, though BJP, VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders have been charging it was the fallout of his participation in a donation drive for the Ram temple.
Police has arrested five people in connection with 25-year-old Sharma's killing. The case has been transferred from local police to the Crime Branch of Delhi Police.
