Even
as the nation seethed over the killing of five Indian soldiers by
Pakistani army in Jammu & Kashmir in the wee hours on Tuesday, the Bihar Regimental Centre (BRC) headquarters at Danapur on the outskirts of Patna remained almost clueless to the fact that four of the martyrs belonged to its 21st Bihar Regiment.
Sources in the defence ministry told in Delhi Naik Prem Nath Singh of Chhapra in Saran district, Lance Naik Shambhu Saran Ray of Bhojpur district, sepoy Vijay Kumar Ray of Danapur and sepoy Raghunandan Prasad of Chhapra.
Wails of sepoy Vijay's wife Pushpa Devi rent the air in Danapur's Sultanpur-Bibiganj locality where his family of mother Anjoria Devi, wife and two children -- six-year-old Vivek and four-year-old Neha - lived in a tenanted property belonging to one Umesh Singh. Vijay's late father Neklal Ray was also an ex-Armyman. Two months ago, he had come home to see his ailing mother, said neighbours who had gathered to console the bereaved family. Later in the evening, Vijay's family shifted to their native village Anantpur under the Bihta police station area in Patna district.
A BRC officer, saying they could not talk to the media without the permission of their central command in Lucknow. BRC sources, however, said they had no official information about the casualties and their contact details till Tuesday evening. However, they gathered information from other sources and asked for the details from the central command. The BRC officers expected the bodies to be flown to Patna on Wednesday after the official formalities.
Officers and jawans of the Bihar regiment have been deployed at key positions in J&K. At the time of the killings, the four jawans from Bihar were on routine duty of patrolling the LoC, the sources said.
Meanwhile, All India Ex-Servicemen League president Col (retd) V K Singh condemned the incident. PATNA/CHHAPRA/ARA: The mortal remains of the four jawans of the Bihar Regiment's 21st battalion, who were killed by the Pakistani army in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, were consigned to flames with full state and Army honours on Thursday.
Martyred sepoy Vijay Kumar Rai was cremated with full state and Army honours on the bank of the Ganga river at Biyapur near Maner on Thursday. Senior army officials, jawans and district administration officials, including Patna DM and senior SP, were present on the occasion. Army personnel sounded the last post before consigning the body to flames. Gun salute was given by the Army as a mark of honour to the martyred sepoy. Several political leaders, including BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, Danapur MLA Asha Sinha, Patna (East) MLA Arun Kumar Sinha, Maner MLA Bhai Birendra and many other prominent persons were present there to pay their respects to the departed soul. A large number of local people also turned up to pay a tearful homage to the brave jawan of the 21st battalion of the Bihar Regiment. Vijay's body was brought back here on Wednesday night.
Vivek, the six-year-old son of the martyred jawan, lit the funeral pyre amid chanting of "Vijay Kumar Rai Amar Rahe". According to victim's brother Rajkishore, Vijay's two minor children - Vivek and Neha - are deeply shocked. During his stay here in July, Vijay had promised to purchase a bicycle for Vivek during his next visit to Danapur in September. Vijay wanted to make Neha a doctor.
Later, two state ministers - Narendra Singh and Awadhesh Kushwaha - visited the two villages and consoled the bereaved families. Bihar Legislative Council deputy speaker Salim Perwez was also present on the occasion.
in Bhojpur, Lance Naik Shambhu Sharan Rai was consigned to flames with full state honours in a garden near his native village Harnahi Tola under the Jagdishpur police station of the district on Thursday morning.
State food and consumer protection minister Shyam Razak, DM Pankaj Kumar Pal, SP Satyaveer Singh and several Army personnel were present on the occasion.
Martyr Shambhu's three-year-old son Piyush performed the last rites of his father. Piyush was carried in the lap of his uncle Hareram Rai while Shambhu's three daughters witnessed it with stony silence. People were seen crying.
Earlier on Wednesday night, the martyr's body, wrapped in a tricolour, reached his native village. Shambhu's wailing family members were inconsolable and his mother Kusum Devi and wife Sapana were seen lying on the floor of their house in an unconscious state. The shocked villagers wanted a strong and befitting reply by the Indian government to the Pakistan army. Gloom descended on Sonapura village, Shambhu's "sasural". His father-in-law Jai Ram Rai and mother-in-law Heeramuni Devi are shocked at the great loss.
Shambhu is survived by three daughters - Priya, Priyanka and Preeti - and son Piyush.
The martyr's sobbing father Banshidhar Rai, a constable at Madhubani jail, said his son's death has come as a bolt from the blue for him and his family. His brother Ekram Rai said Shambhu had visited the village in April to meet his ailing father.
Shambhu's uncle Triloki Nath Rai and brother Hareram said the Indian government must avenge the armymen's killings.
Meanwhile, minister Shyam Razak visited the native village of the martyr again on Thursday and gave a cheque of Rs 10 lakh to the bereaved family.
