ARA (BIHAR): The family members of slain CRPF jawan Mujahid Khan, who died fighting militants in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, today turned down a cheque of Rs 5 lakh from the Bihar Government, saying it was “demeaning” as Army personnel killed in such incidents get Rs 11 lakh.
The cheque was given to Khan’s family in Bhojpur district’s Piro Tehsil where the slain CRPF constable’s body was brought this morning and the funeral held with full police honours.
Khan was killed in a gunbattle with militants who had attacked the camp of the CRPF’s 23rd Battalion at Karan Nagar in Srinagar. (AGENCIES)
