[Android]

A pall of gloom descended on
Salaheen Colony in Nawab Sahab
Kunta area of the Old City in
Hyderabad after the news of the
death of Lance Naik Mohammad
Firoz Khan broke out.
Local residents made a beeline to
the house of the Army man, who
was killed in LoC firing by
Pakistani troops in Balakote
sector of Poonch, Jammu on
Tuesday.
Firoz, who was serving in the
Madras Regiment for the last 15
years, is survived by wife and
three children. “He celebrated
Ramzan with us and left
promising to return soon. But see
what has happened a day before
Eid,” his brother Mohammad
Allauddin Khan, sobbed.
On Saturday last, Firoz spoke to
his family and expressed his
inability to come for Bakrid. “He
promised his children that he
would come in January and also
asked his wife to get new clothes
for the children for Eid,” said
Shaik Moinuddin, Firoz’s father-
in-law.
Unmindful of the tragedy that
struck the family, the children
were busy playing around holding
a trophy that was awarded to
their father.
“Should we see it as an Eid gift to
India from Pakistan,” laments his
brother-in-law Shaik Ayaazuddin.
The body is expected to arrive by
evening and the last rites would
be performed on Thursday.
