Rakesh Nehra, who achieved martyrdom in village Kanker in Chhattisgarh district during an ambush with naxalites on Thursday night dated 10 March 2016, was consigned to flames at his ancestral village Balsamand near Ladnu in Nagaur district with full respects on Monday dated 14 March 2016. Government, police and BSF officials were present on the occasion along with the family members and villagers.
His body landed at Jodhpur civil airport on Monday morning and was taken to his village by road, where BSF officials from Rajasthan Frontier headquarters remained present.
Nehra is survived by wife and two sons, one of whom is seven years old while other is barely two-and-a-half years. He was inducted in the BSF five years back and was currently posted at Raipur after having served in JK and Punjab.
He had come to his village early this month to attend his cousin brother's wedding ceremony and had left to resume his duty only on March 4.
