The 31-year-old Border Security Force (BSF) trooper, Rameez Ahmad Parray, on vacation at home in Jammu and Kashmir’s Badipora district, was unfettered by the enormous pressure mounted by the terrorists to shout anti-India slogans but he kept the high values and tradition of the defence forces by saying ‘Jai Hind’ till his last breath.
The unarmed constable of BSF’s 73rd Battalion was murdered in a ‘barbaric and inhuman’ manner by the active terrorists of the valley after failing to abduct him on Wednesday.
According to sources in the region terrorists numbering between 10 and 15 barged into the slain BSF jawan’s house and shouted slogans claiming him to be ‘traitor of Kashmir’ and shouted anti-India slogans.
