Patna: Raj Thackeray may now face a murder charge after the father of Pawan Kumar, the youth who was allegedly killed by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists in Mumbai, filed a case against the MNS chief in a Bihar court on Friday.
Pawan's father Jagdish Prasad filed a murder case against Raj Thackeray under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the court of chief judicial magistrate in Biharsharif, the district headquarters of Nalanda, court sources said.
Prasad has accused Raj Thackeray and MNS activists of killing his son in Mumbai last Sunday.
Prasad has requested the court to charge Raj Thackeray with the murder of his son.
Pawan, a resident of Bara-Khurd village in Nalanda, was one of the hundreds of students from Bihar appearing for a railway recruitment exam in Maharashtra Sunday when MNS activists attacked them.
The son of a poor farmer, Pawan had hoped to improve his family's standard of living by getting a government job. However, his dead body was brought back to Bihar Tuesday to be cremated at his village.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced a compensation of Rs 1,50,000 to Pawan's family.
