There are moments one truly realises the cost of war and Major Anuj Sood’s wife Akriti Singh looking at his mortal remains is one of them.
The two had only recently gotten married.
The heartbreaking picture is being shared by people as a reminder, that our soldiers and their families sacrifice their life and happiness so that we can be safe.
This Picture Left Speechless 😢

“Why Him? She might think.”
Each and every day, our soldiers sacrifice their lives for protecting us.
I have one simple question, Are we worth fighting for?What are we doing for our Martyrs?#NeedAnswer pic.twitter.com/t0gW2xSvTh
The officer was martyred in the recent Handwara encounter, which claimed the lives of 4 other armymen and a police officer.
Major Sood was cremated with full military honours and was given a gun salute by fellow soldiers.
These pictures are the epitome of courage & bravery.
