As per a statement, each NoK of the deceased police personnel-ASI Narider Singh, ASI Rajesh Kumar, HC Mushtaq Ahmad, HC Ashok Kumar, HC Sajad Ahmad, and Selection Grade Constable (SgCT) Avinash Kumar-who passed away while serving, will receive a special welfare relief of Rs 22 lakh.
Additionally, a special welfare relief of Rs 6 lakh has been sanctioned for the dependents/legal heirs of the late SPO Narbat Singh, who succumbed to illness during his tenure with the department.
It’s worth noting that an immediate relief of Rs 1 lakh each had already been provided to the families/NoK to assist with the last rites, courtesy of the Police Headquarters through their respective units and districts.
