The 39-year-old soldier is survived by his mother Shakuntala, wife Gurdeep Kaur, 17-year-old daughter Mahekpreet Kaur and 10-year-old son Jobanpreet Singh and three sisters.
As the news his sacrifice reached Sheel village on Wednesday, a large number of locals started gathering at his small two-room house
