A day after Captain Ayush Yadav was martyred in the Kupwara encounter, his father Arun Yadav said he has no expectations from the government. 24-year-old Ayush sprung swiftly to action when militants lobbed grenades into his camp on early Thursday morning. He grabbed a gun and ran out of his room to fight off militants. Along with Yadav, two other security personnel too were killed in the incident.
A pall of gloom has taken over Yadav’s residence in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur. Yadav’s mother had called the night before he was killed. When news came in on Thursday, she kept on dialing his number. Her fears grew louder when Ayush didn’t answer her calls.
Naik Venkat Ramana too was killed in the incident. His brother Koteshwar Rao now says life has been rendered meaningless and that he doesn’t want to live anymore.
