"Mujahid Khan - a constable of CRPF, a resident of Bihar, Piro district Ara - not a single minister of Nitish Kumar visited the deceased family," tweeted the Lok Sabha MP from Hyderabad.



A gunfight had broken out between security forces and terrorists on February 12, 2018, after their attempt to strike a CRPF camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar was foiled.


The jawan, belonging to 49 Battalion of the CRPF, suffered injuries in the gunfight and had died hours later.





Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had on Tuesday expressed grief over the death of the CRPF constable and an Army jawan (who was martyred in Sunjuwan military camp attack), both hailing from Bihar, while fighting terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.


Kumar had announced that funeral of the martyrs would be accorded with full police honours. The CM had also announced that the state government would pay an ex-gratia amount to the next of kin of the two martyrs,  an official release had said, as per PTI. 


In his condolence message, Kumar had said, "The entire country would remember the supreme sacrifice of the brave sons. Entire Bihar is with the martyrs' family." 


Khan hailed from Bhojpur district, while Army jawan Kishore Kumar Munna was a resident of Brahma village of Khagaria district.
