The mortal remains of Lieutenant Colonel Niranjan Kumar, who was martyred during the operation to flush out terrorists from the Pathankot Air Force Base, was brought to his residence here on Monday morning.
His body will be taken to his native village in Kerala's Palakkad district later in the day for cremation.
The National Security Guard (NSG) Lt. Col., who was a member of the bomb disposal squad, was killed on Sunday during the combing operations at the Air Force base when a grenade he was trying defuse went off.
The terrorist attack at the Pathankot base has claimed the lives of seven security personnel including Commonwealth Gold Medallist Fateh Singh and Garud Commando Gursevak Singh.
Kumar is survived by his wife Dr KG Radhika and a two year old daughter Vismay.
Kumar was with the Madras Engineering Group of the Army before joining the prestigious NSG. His body will be cremated at his native village in Palakkad.
