The body of CRPF Sub Inspector Anil Kumar Maurya, who was killed in a naxal attack in Sukma in Chhattisgarh, was consigned to flames at his native Pure Khojwa village in this district.
Uttar Pradesh minister Mohsin Raza, who was present when the last rites were performed, presented a cheque of Rs 25 lakh to the bereaved family on behalf of the state government.
Maurya, 50, was posted in battalion number 212 of CPRPF at Sukma. He is survived by two sons and two daughters.
His body was taken to his ancestral village early morning by officials of his department in a special vehicle from Lucknow. In Lucknow, the body was brought by air after post-mortem at Raipur.
People from all walks of life thronged Maurya's village to pay heartfelt tributes.
