Pak shelling in Poonch: Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar’s mortal remains reach Haryana village; martyr’s father says ‘2 more sons still serving nation’

Dinesh Kumar joined the Army in 2014 and is survived by his wife Seema, who is an advocate, and two children.

Dinesh Kumar was the eldest of five siblings. Dinesh Kumar’s younger brothers Kapil and Hardatt are serving in the Indian Army as part of the Agnipath scheme. Another brother, Vishnu, helps their father in the fields, and the youngest brother, Vishnu, is studying.

“My son sacrificed his life while serving his motherland. His martyrdom will not go to waste. My one son has been martyred, my two other sons are still serving for the nation,” Dinesh Kumar’s father Daya Chand told media persons.

Dinesh Kumar was recently promoted to the rank of Lance Naik.

Lance Naik Dinesh and several others were killed in the intense artillery and mortar shelling by the Pakistan Army targeting the forward area village in Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistan Army’s action came after the Indian Armed forces carried out ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Poonch sector in Jammu has received the maximum artillery shelling and recorded 13 deaths, so far.
