Home Ministry has formed a probe committee to look into the death of a temporary personnel in police firing in Kalikot district.

The four-member committee is chaired by ministry's joint secretary Man Bahadur Biswakarma and includes Nepal Police DIG Ramesh Kharel, APF DIG Prabin Shrestha and National Investigation Department's Laxman Gurung. The committee has been asked to submit its report within seven days.

The ministry has also decided to provide Rs 1 million to the family of the deceased while all those injured in the incident will be treated free of cost.

Bibek Aidi, 21, from Raskot Municipality-2, was shot in his head while he and other Myadi recruits were protesting against low salary outside the District Police Office (DPO).

 The Myadi personnel, who were hired for election security, have accused the DPO of misappropriating the budget meant for their salary.
