Kishore Pandey, a special police officer, died in a Maoist ambush in 2011. The police gave his family Rs. 10,000 for his funeral from the police welfare fund. Officers like Kishore are paid only 5,000 as salary and his family needed the financial help.
When the family was later given compensation of Rs. 5 lakh, the department did not deduct the Rs. 10,000 given earlier because of a clerical mistake.
The family alleges that since last year, the police have been demanding the extra money back. The first notice was sent in June last year.
The opposition Congress had taken up their cause and alleged insult to the martyr and his family.
