Mortal remains of CRPF jawan, who lost his life in Manipur attack, arrive at Patna airport

The mortal remains of CRPF jawan Ajay Kumar Jha, who lost his life in Manipur, arrived here in Patna Airport. A ceremony was held at the airport where last respects were paid to the brave soldier.

A team comprising Manipur Police and CRPF personnel was conducting checks on security deployments and area domination when they came under heavy fire from suspected armed Kuki militants at multiple locations. The militants used sophisticated weapons, triggering an intense exchange of gunfire that lasted for approximately 15-20 minutes.

Tragically, the exchange resulted in the martyrdom of CRPF driver Ajay Kumar Jha (43), a resident of Maghupur, Madhubani Bihar. Additionally, two members of the Manipur Police, Sub-Inspector K. Romendro and Rifleman Robindro, sustained splinter injuries. They were promptly evacuated to Jiribam Hospital where they received medical treatment and are reported to be out of danger.
