<p>The family members of slain BSF head constable Prem Sagar were befuddled when the Deoria district administration installed a window air conditioner, put up a sofa and carpet at their home ahead of chief minister Yogi Adityanath&#39;s visit this Friday.</p>

<p>They were in for even a greater shock when these trappings of affluence vanished within minutes of the chief minister&#39;s departure.</p>

<p>Sagar&#39;s family members said they were taken aback when the authorities removed the air conditioner, sofa and carpet soon after the chief minister left their place.</p>
