After eight years, the family of Mukunda Raya Yadav of Matiarba in Bara district is set to be compensated by the Indian border security force, Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), for his death. 

Yadav, then 50, was shot dead by the SSB security personnel around Jamuniya in Bihar State of India over a minor dispute while he was returning from bordering market in India in October 3, 2009. 

The compensation of Rs 800,000 will soon be handed over to Yadav’s family. The SSB communicated its plan about compensating Yadav’s family to the Nepal Police at Bara and Parsa on April 19. 

This move is made by the security force of India following the severe criticism from the human right activists of both Nepal and India.
