constituted a Special Investigation Team the decision regarding this issue will be taken by it only.

However, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA, Bhola Singh, told ANI the administration has assured that name of the deceased will be removed from the FIR and district administration has already announced financial aid of Rs 5 lakh for his family. Singh also added that request for a job for a family member will be forwarded to the Chief Minister through District Magistrate for consideration.
