# Bhojpur encounter victim’s family rejects Bihar job, aid offer 2026-08-15T01:26:52+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The family of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari, killed in an alleged police encounter in Bihar’s Bhojpur district on June 17, 2026, has refused the state government’s offer of financial assistance and a government job. Tiwari’s mother Asha Devi said on Friday that they will not accept the offer until those who killed her son are punished and hanged. The Bihar government announced the compensation on August 13 based on an interim judicial probe report by retired Justice Vinod Kumar Sinha. Five policemen are facing murder charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The family has also demanded that Tiwari be declared a “martyr”. The CM Samrat Choudhary made the offer in a social media post. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Bharat Bhushan Tiwari, Bhojpur, Bihar Police, Samrat Choudhary, Vinod Kumar Sinha Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bhojpur-encounter-victims-family-rejects-bihar-job-aid-offer/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
