Superintendent of Police Gariyabad Abhishek Pathak said, "We are taking back the order of recovering the money spent by the government for martyr's last rites."
The family was asked to return the money given from the Police Welfare Fund. The family received the first notice to return the money in June 2014 and the second notice three days ago.
