Bihar Resident Virendra Paswan Was Cremated In Srinagar

Bihar resident Virendra Paswan, who was a victim of terrorists, was cremated in Srinagar itself.

The last rites of Virendra Paswan, a resident of Bhagalpur, Bihar, who was killed by terrorists, were performed on Wednesday at the Dudhganga crematorium on the banks of Jhelum.

Although the district administration had offered to send his body to his native village by plane to his relatives, they refused.

Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azim Mattoo also confirmed this fact and said that I was not fully aware earlier.

I will no longer be in Bhagalpur, but here in Srinagar to express my consolation with his brother and other family members.

Meanwhile, the state administration has provided an ex-gratia of Rs.1.25 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased for immediate help.

Virendra Paswan, a resident of Bhagalpur, often used to come to Kashmir during the summer to earn a living.

He used to sell gol gappas on a handcart in Madinsahab, Lalbazar area of ​​Srinagar. The terrorists shot him last evening. He died on the road near his handcart before being taken to the hospital.

The Islamic State of Jammu and Kashmir, also known as Islamic State Vilaya Hind, has claimed responsibility for his murder.

Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azim Mattoo strongly condemned the killing of Virendra Paswan saying that Islam does not allow the killing of any innocent, any innocent, and any human being.

The murder of an innocent is the murder of the entire humanity. Virendra Paswan had come here from Bihar to earn a living.

What had happened to that poor person? Those who killed him have defamed Kashmir, Kashmiris, and Islam.

He said that I was not aware earlier that some of his relatives are here. So I felt it was necessary to go to Bhagalpur.

I came to know late this evening that his brother and some other family members live here in the Alamgiri market. He performed the last rites of Virendra Paswan here today.

I will meet his brother and other family members on Thursday and express my condolences to them. Whatever help will be given to them, will be done. He has come to Kashmir to earn a living.

According to the mayor, the district administration had assured Virendra’s family of all help to transport his body to his native village in Bihar.

The administration had also offered to provide him free plane tickets, but he declined and said that they would perform his last rites here in Kashmir. After this, he performed his last rites here.

Meanwhile, District Magistrate Srinagar Mohammad Aijaz Asad presented an ex-gratia check of Rs.1.25 lakh to Putul Devi, wife of late Virendra Paswan, for immediate help.

In this, an amount of one lakh rupees has been given in the head of SDRF and 25 thousand rupees have been given from the Red Cross fund.

District Magistrate Mohammad Ejaz Asad said that more financial help would be given to the kin of the deceased. All necessary formalities in this regard will be completed in the next few days.
