Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met the family of martyred Rifleman Aurangzeb at his native village, Salani in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch today. Ms Sitharaman assured all possible assistance to the family and said Aurangzeb’s supreme sacrifice will always be a source of inspiration to the youth of the country.

Aurangzeb, who belonged to the 44, Rashtriya Rifles, was abducted and killed by terrorists last week in Pulwama’s Kalam Pora Village.
