Uttar Pradesh Labour Minister Swami Prasad Maurya on Saturday handed a cheque of Rs 25 lakh as an ex-gratia compensation to the father of the Unnao rape victim, who was allegedly burnt to death by five men, including the two accused of raping her.
Maurya handed over the cheque to the victim's father during his visit to his village in Unnao along with Cabinet colleague Kamal Rani Varun.
The two ministers met the family members and while condoling their daughter's death, assured them of all possible helps in future.
An official statement quoted Maurya as saying that "the family will be given a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana."
