NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, Rifleman Aurangzeb, who was brutally killed by terrorists in Pulwama in June when he was on his way home for Eid, will also be conferred with Shaurya Chakra. On receiving this news, his mother said: “I am happy & thankful that he is getting the Shaurya Chakra but I am sad that he is no longer there with us.” In teary eyes, she further added that Aurangzeb’s death has shattered her. Aurangzeb, who belonged to the 44 Rashtriya Rifles, was on way back home on June 14 to celebrate Eid when terrorists abducted him.
