Sudip Biswas, 27, West Bengal
It was a tough time for Samapta Biswas, brother-in-law of 27-year-old Sudip Biswas as he was tasked with the responsibility to break the news of Sudip's untimely death at the hands of terrorists to his family – his parents and married sister.
"I didn't know what to tell them. I had heard it last night and told my wife. She was hysterical. This morning I was trying to find a way how to tell it to his parents Sanyasi and Mamata Biswas when police arrived," said Samapta at Sudip's residence which is under Hanspukuria Panchayat of Tehatta in Nadia district.
Son of a farm worker, Sudip was the sole earning member of the family and had put the family back on tracks after he joined the security force and was soon to get married. He had been working for the last four years to build a house in the area to move in with his family.
"He had called me once at about 10 am and then at 3.10 pm when the phone got disconnected in the middle of a conversation. I didn't know what had happened and let go after trying to call back for a couple of times. This morning I came to know about the mishap," said his father.
Known to be an introvert, polite person in the locality, his friends said that no one had ever seen Sudip behave rudely with anyone. "I have been with him since we were in Class 5. There has not been any incident when he picked up a fight with anyone. I am sad and proud at the same time that my friend laid down his life for the country," said Pralay Biswas.
Family members said that they wanted an inquiry if there was any lapse in security arrangement and also that leaders should stop being activists on social network and carry out some action against Pakistan which patronised terror outfits.
His mother was losing consciousness off and on and was only wailing whenever she gained consciousness. All she knows is that her son was in 98 battalion and was en route to a raid for 54 batallion when the incident happened.
