Lt Kiran Shekhawat

Lieutenant Kiran Shekhawat - country's first woman officer to die in the line of duty - was cremated with full military honours today in Mewat, Haryana. Two years ago 27-year-old Lt Shekhawat had married a fellow naval officer Lt Vivek Chokar, but the two had never lived together. This was meant to change next month.

The fuselage of the ill-fated Indian Navy's Dornier aircraft was salvaged from the bottom of the sea on Saturday, about 25 nautical miles off the Goa coast, Defence sources said.

The body of Lt Kiran Shekhawat was today recovered from the fuselage of the Dornier Aircraft of the Navy which had crashed during a flying sortie off the Goa coast even as another officer continues to be missing.
