On September 5, 1994, Mr Kumar from Kathiyar was appointed as a sub-inspector (SI) of police and his tentative retirement date was May 31, 2027. However, on September 8, 2003, he died from a naxalite bomb blast while being posted at Tilathou Police Station in Rohtas. The police after investigation (case no. 36/2003) also ruled that his death was caused by a naxalite bomb blast.
Consequently, on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Police (SP), Rohtas and the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Shahabad Range, an ex gratia payment of Rs 10 lakh was given to his wife Smt Kumari on November 21, 2003.
