Remembering Warriors: Villagers in Rajasthan demand justice for jawan

Bhagirath Kasana, Rajasthan

The villagers of Jaitpura village have tears filling their eyes after hearing of the martyrdom of Bhagirath Kasana. Bhagirath had recently returned back after spending holidays with the family. He had come for holidays on January 17 after spending nearly twenty days posted with the 45th Battalion of the CRPF. 

The jawan was a father to two children — a girl and a boy. Bhagirath married four years back after he joined the CRPF in 2013. 

Upon hearing the news of his demise, relatives, friends, and neighbours thronged to his home in huge numbers to share condolences with the grieved family. 

Angered over the attack that killed their friend and neighbour, the villagers have demanded that Bhagirath’s death by avenged. 

District administration officials and local politicians have also met the family members of the martyr.
