Thakur stated that Devraj Sharma was the sole breadwinner in the family. “The entire family was dependent on him, and he had been ill for a long time. Therefore, the family’s situation can be understood. Both of his children are still studying, and his wife’s health is also not good. The family’s financial condition is very poor, and the government should provide financial assistance to help them,” said Thakur.
