Shocked over the killing of a national level woman Kabaddi player by a Central Reserve Police Force jawan, the Bihar government has decided to ask central forces to vacate its camp at Moinul Haque stadium and colleges in Bihar.

"The state government has written letters to CRPF authorities in the past urging them to vacate its camp at Moinul Haque stadium and colleges in Bihar," Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said on Thursday.

"Our officials will meet CRPF officials soon and ask them to shift their camps from the sports stadium and the colleges in Bihar," Kumar said.

Jaswant Singh, a CRPf jawan, had shot dead Kabbadi player Manisha, 21, a railway employee, near Bahadurpur railway crossing in Patna on Wednesday night.

The body was taken by her father and other relatives along with railway officials from Patna to Ambala by train for cremation.

Besides the minister for art, culture and youth affairs Sukhda Pandey, several senior railway officials from East-Central railway were present at Patna Junction
