contents We explore the origin of the broad component of the [Ar II] 7 mcm line emission related to the ejecta excitation by the neutron star of SN 1987A. We argue that the line broad wings are emitted at the tmperature of $\sim300$ K. The flux excess in the red wing of [Ar II] line is reproduced by the line photons scattering off the optically thin uniform dust component with the grain size of 1 - 2 mcm and the total mass of $\mbox{(several)}\times10^{-3}\,M{\odot}$. The dusty opaque clumps containing almost all the dust of SN~1987A have a low occultation optical depth and line photon scattering on dusty clumps do not contribute noticeably in the red wing. The additional heating might be related to ionization losses of relativistic protons.
