Rambabu singh: The Bihar government on Wednesday (May 14, 2025) clarified that Rambabu Singh, a resident of Siwan, who was killed while on duty in Jammu and Kashmir, was not in BSF but an army personnel and his death would not be considered as ‘martyred in struggle’. Earlier, the Chief Minister’s Office had described Rambabu Singh as a “BSF jawan” and announced a grant of Rs 50 lakh to his family.
The seriously injured Singh died last week and was described as a ‘martyr’. A senior officer said on the condition of keeping the name confidential, “We received a letter from the army last night stating that Rambabu Singh was in the army. Also, his death cannot be called ‘martyred in struggle’ because he was killed in a road accident.”
Guard of Honor not given at the airport
The body of Rambabu Singh was brought to Patna Airport on Wednesday morning, where he was paid floral tributes. However, he was not given ‘Guard of Honor’ which is usually given to “martyrs”. Leader of the opposition was present at Tejashwi Yadav Airport.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav told reporters, “Yesterday, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said in a post on ‘X’ that Ram Babu Singh was a BSF soldier. It is now revealed that he was in the army. This kind of confusion at the Chief Minister’s level is regrettable. Hopefully, it is expected that Chief Minister Rambabu Singh’s family will fulfill his promise to give a grains of Rs 50 lakh to Rambabu Singh’s family.
At the airport, he said, “No one informed me about the bringing of Rambabu Singh’s body. I came to myself. It is disappointing that two sub -chief ministers and representatives of a large cabinet government were missing. I also spoke to Rambabu Singh’s family on the phone to express condolences.” Please tell that the last rites of Rambabu Singh have been performed in Vasilpur village of Siwan with state honors on Wednesday.
