Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Monday met the family of martyred soldier Aurengzeb who was kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Kashmir last week.

Rawat spent over 30 minutes with the parents of Aurangzeb who was a rifleman with 4 Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry. His bullet-ridden body was found on June 14 at Gusoo Pulwama after a day long search operation.

A video has also surfaced on the internet in which the trooper is seen being interrogated by suspected Hizbul Mujahideen militants about the encounters he had participated in.

The video is believed to be taken moments before the army jawan was killed by militants.

The rifleman was abducted by militants at Kalampora in Pulwama when he was on his way home in Rajouri district for Eid celebrations.

The soldier’s family has also demanded PM Modi to take action. “I want to ask PM Modi if he’s listening to me, why are you appeasing stone-pelters and separatists? Punish the terrorists who killed my son. Why was Ramzan ceasefire announced? Terrorists have no religion, then why operations were stopped against them during Ramzan?” Mohammad Haneef, Aurangzeb’s father had said earlier.
