Jitendra is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old son.
A relative told The PinkCity Post that Jitendra’s parents, wife and son had gone to visit him in Jammu. He saw them off on Tuesday. A few hours after they reached Jaipur, the news of Jitendra’s death was delivered to them.
“Jitendra’s son Yash was insisting on vising his father during summer holidays, so the entire family went to visit Jitendra. They stayed in his officers’ quarters and left Jammu on Tuesday,” said the relative.
On Wednesday morning, the officials of Border Security Force (BSF) informed the family that Jitendra was killed in the firing.
The family members were inconsolable.
“He was a hero of the neighborhood. Neighbors used to respect the family a lot because Jitendra was serving the nation,” said the relative.
Final rituals will be performed with army honors after the body arrives in the city.
Chief minister Vasundhara Raje and other senior politicians expressed grief over the death of the four BSF personnel.
