Patna : Bihar CM and JD(U) national president Nitish Kumar met the family members of Mujahid Khan, a slain CRPF jawan from Bhojpur district of the state who died fighting militants at Srinagar in J&K on February 12, 2017, at his official residence

The chief minister directed Principal Secretary (Home), Amir Subhani, to provide all possible help to the family members of the deceased CRPF jawan.
It may be mentioned here Mujahid Khan’s family members had declined to accept a cheque of Rs five lakh offered by the state government by way of ex-gratia pointing out that Army personnel who lost their lives while performing their duties were given Rs 11 lakh and the  lower amount for paramilitary personnel was humiliating. After that the Bhojpur District Magistrate had written to the state home department about the grievance of the family members of Mujahid Khan.
