Urging the Jammu and Kashmir government to grant Rs 10 lakh compensation and job to family members of Amarnath pilgrim killed in stone-pelting in Kashmir, VHP today demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
"We appeal the state government for a compensation of at least Rs 10 lakh to the bereaved poor family of Amarnath pilgrim Ravi Kant and government job for at least two members of the family," VHP state chief Rama Kant Dubey told reporters here.
He said a CBI inquiry should be ordered into the incident and also in Gool firing incident so that persons responsible for it, including police and administration, are brought to book.

"The over-ground and underground anti-national elements be permanently branded as militants," he said.
The family of Ravi Kant, who was killed in stone-pelting in Kashmir, was granted just Rs 2 lakh compensation, he said.
