Jaipur, May 10: Surendra Kumar, a resident of Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu, who had been working as a medical assistant for the Indian Air Force, was killed in a Pakistani air strike early on Saturday in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir.

Surendra Kumar had been serving in the medical wing of the Indian Air Force for the past 14 years. He was posted in 39 Wing, Udhampur. His martyrdom was confirmed by the Army Headquarters, which informed his brother-in-law Jai Prakash via phone. The martyr’s uncle, Subhash Moga, recalled Surendra as a patriotic and helpful person who regularly motivated local youth to join the armed forces. Surendra Kumar had returned to duty on April 15 after spending time with his family. India-Pakistan Ceasefire Violated: Indian Air Defence Intercepts Pakistani Drones Amid Reports of Violation of Ceasefire Agreement, Blackout in Srinagar.

He had recently constructed a new house in his village, and the ‘Griha Pravesh’ (housewarming) ceremony was held just days before his return to base. He is survived by his wife Seema, an 8-year-old daughter, and a 5-year-old son. His father, Shishupal Singh, a retired CRPF personnel, had passed away earlier. As of now, no official confirmation has been given on when the mortal remains will be brought to his native village for final rites.

The martyr’s wife, Seema, who had been visiting her maternal home in Nawalgarh following the recent death of her grandfather, was admitted to the Government District Hospital after her health deteriorated upon hearing the news of her husband’s martyrdom. District Collector Ram Avtar Meena and Superintendent of Police Sharad Chaudhary visited Seema at the hospital to enquire about her condition and instructed the medical staff to provide special care. ‘Pakistan Has Violated Ceasefire Agreement’: India Confirms Border Intrusion by Pakistan Shortly After Ceasefire Deal, Foreign Secretary Vikas Misri Says Indian Army Retaliating (Watch Video).
