Buddhadev Singh was killed May 29 in the Gopalganj district jail when he went inside a ward to conduct the medical check-up of a prisoner.
“Singh's family members refused to accept the compensation announced by the state government,” a district administration official in Gopalganj said.
According to officials, Buddhadev Singh's family told state Home Secretary Amir Subhani, who visited their home to handover the money Sunday, that they will not accept the compensation till they get justice. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the murder.
