Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team captain, paid tribute to five security personnel who lost their lives in an encounter with terrorists in North Kashmir’s Handwara district.
Colonel Ashutosh Sharma, who was commanding a Rashtriya Rifles battalion in the Rajwar area of Handwara tehsil, apart from Major Anuj Sood, Lance Naik Dinesh Singh, Naik Rajesh Kumar and sub-inspector Qazi Shakeel Ahmad, made the supreme sacrifice in the 20-hour-long gunfight with holed-up terrorists in the Chanjimulla village on Saturday night.
Virat took to Twitter and shared a message. Take a look
Those who don’t forget their duty in any circumstances are true heroes. Their sacrifices must not be forgotten. I bow my head to the army personnel & the policemen who lost their lives at Handwara and sincerely send my condolences to their families and wish them peace???Jai Hind pic.twitter.com/HIAltyZ7QX
