It pointed out that the family had been paid Rs 85 lakh by the central and state government, a school teacher’s job and a liberalised pension.
The money includes Rs 14 lakh (from the general provident fund), an ex-gratia payment of Rs 15 lakh, an ex-gratia payment of Rs 11 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and a cash grant of Rs 25 lakh by Delhi government for Ashok Chakra awarded on Jan 26 2009.
Referring to a news report “Sharma family escort removed” published in the Hindustan Times on Feb 6, a ministry spokesman said it was not appropriate to say that “the family got false promises” from
the Government”.
