Megastar Amitabh Bachchan to give Rs 5 lakh to each slain CRPF trooper's family

The actor is currently finding out "from several government sources where and how the amount will be distributed to ensure it is expedited".

 Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be donating Rs 5 lakh each to the families of 40 CRPF troppers who died in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district.

In the worst ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir since militancy erupted in 1989, a Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber on Thursday rammed his vehicle packed with explosives into a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus on the Jammu-Srinagar highway in Pulwama district, killing at least 40 troopers on the spot.
