JAIPUR: Rajasthan government on Saturday announced a Rs 5 lakh compensation to the family of a migrant labourer from West Bengal who was hacked to death in Rajasthan.

A day earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declared a compensation of Rs 3 lakh to the victim's family and offered a job to one of his family members.

Following the incident, Banerjee sent a team of Ministers and party MPs to visit the family in Malda district. A Special Investigation Team was set up by the Rajasthan government to investigate the killing and to find out if there was any communal angle linked to it.

On Thursday, a horrifying video emerged showing a man, later identified as Afrajul from West Bengal, being brutally hacked to death and set on fire in Rajasamand district of Rajasthan, for allegedly committing "love jihad". 

Police arrested the accused, Shambunath Raigar.
