NSG commando Suresh Yadav's body brought from Gujarat

It was a moment of pride coupled with emotions when the body of Subedar Suresh Chand Yadav, the hero of Gujarat's Akshardham anti-terrorist operation, was brought to Delhi on Wednesday.

Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani, who placed a wreath on the NSG commando's body, said Yadav made the supreme sacrifice to save innocent lives.

Brigadier Raj Seethapathy, operation commander of the NSG, also laid a wreath in honour of his lost jawan.

Forty-one-year-old Yadav lost his life while fighting against terrorists who had entered the temple. He is survived by wife and two children.

Yadav joined the army in 1979 and was a part of the 13 Mahar Regiment after which he moved to the Central Reserve Police Force.

He was sent on deputation to the NSG last year where he was part of the 51 Special Action Group.

Yadav hailed from Khankhera village in Alwar district of Rajasthan.

His body would be taken to the NSG headquarters at Manesar, Haryana on Thursday for the last rites.
