Bag Packed, Clothes Folded: CRPF Soldier Killed In Manipur Was Set To Go Home On Leave | Read

A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldier who was killed in action in an attack by "suspected Kuki insurgents" on Sunday was scheduled to go home in Bihar on Monday, a policeman who shared a barrack with the CRPF soldier has said. The policeman, in a video taken inside the barrack, said the 43-year-old CRPF soldier Ajoy Kumar Jha slept on a bed next to his. He was a resident of Madhubani in Bihar. "This is his bed, just next to mine. He was the CRPF soldier who was killed in action," the policeman said, pointing the camera on a hard bed on which a red luggage was kept. "He had packed his clothes. He was happy he would be going home tomorrow," the policeman said. "He had taken a pass to go home. See his bag and belongings, all neatly packed. It is very sad. I can't believe he is no more. He was behind me when he was hit by the bullet," the policeman said, referring to a "pass", or approved paperwork for leave.
