The wife of martyr Lance Naik Hemraj was duped of Rs 10 lakh, in the presence of her brother-in-law and a relative, near a petrol pump in the outskirts of Kosi town area, police said. In her complaint, Dharmvati, the widow of Hemraj, said one Amit Kumar, who claimed that he was an army officer and had been sent by the army headquarters, approached her at Shernagar village on Friday.
The strikes by India have instilled confidence among soldiers and the common man, says martyred soldier Hemraj's widow.
Kherar, a sleepy village in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, has been re-named as Shernagar in honour of slain soldier Lance Naik Hemraj, who was killed during a skirmish with Pakistani soldiers in Mandher sector along the Line of Control on January 8.
The invitation extended to Nawaz Sharif for Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony has not gone down well with the widow of martyred Indian soldier Hemraj, who has demanded that the Pakistan premier either bring back her husband's head or condemn the barbarous killing.
