The Madhya Pradesh police Thursday donated Rs 7.50 crore to help the family members of the CRPF jawans, who laid down their lives in the Pulwama terror attack last week.
State Director General of Police (DGP) VK Singh handed over a cheque of Rs 7.50 crore to Chief Minister Kamal Nath in the latter's office, a public relation department official said.
The police personnel raised the funds from their salary, he said.
40 CRPF jawans had died when a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist blew up his explosives-laden vehicle near the paramilitary force's convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14.
Ever since the Pulwama incident, the Indian government has been trying to expose Pakistan's hand in the terror attack in front of the world community and seeking cooperation from the countries to support India's bid to list JeM chief Masood Azhar in the global terror list.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Pulwama attack had said that the Army has been given complete freedom to avenge the Pulwama attack. Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in a televised address on a Pakistan channel on February 19 had said that they will not think to retaliate but will retaliate if India takes any action against them.
The world community has condemned the Pulwama attack and extended their condolences to the victim families who lost their brave-hearts.
