Villagers bid farewell to Para commando Jhantu Ali Sheikh
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|April 27, 2025
The mortal remains of Indian Army soldier Jhantu Ali Sheikh, who was martyred during a counter-terror operation in Udhampur, Jammu & Kashmir, reached his hometown of Patharghata in Tehatta, Nadia district, early Saturday morning.
His body was placed at the local Eidgah ground, where hundreds of grieving villagers, relatives, and well-wishers gathered to pay their final respects to their fallen hero.
Jhantu, a member of the elite 6 Para Special Forces unit, was part of a critical counter-terror operation launched after the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed 26 lives, including 25 tourists. During the Udhampur encounter, Jhantu was struck by terrorist gunfire. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, he succumbed to his injuries, plunging his family and village into deep sorrow.
