Kings XI Punjab, in association with the Rotary Club, on Tuesday gave away cheques worth Rs 5 lakh each to the families of five CRPF jawans who lost their lives in the Pulwama terror attack last month.
The cheques were handed over to the kin of the families of the martyrs. Over 40 jawans were killed in the deadly attack on a CRPF convoy on a fateful day, resulting in tension between India and Pakistan in the subsequent days.
Cheques were distributed among family members of Jaimal Singh, Sukhjinder Singh, Maninder Singh, Kulwinder Singh and Tilak Raj.
Kings XI captain Ravichandran Ashwin, DIG CRPF V K Kaundal were present at the event.
Earlier this month, the Indian cricket team donated the fees of their third ODI match against Australia in Ranchi to the families of the Pulwama martyrs. Indian captain Virat Kohli also urged everybody to stand by the side of the families in whatever capacity possible.
