Maneshwar Basumatary, a CRPF jawan who was martyred in the terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pulwama district belongs to 98th Battalion. He along with 43 others were martyred in the biggest ever terror attacks while 38 others were injured.
Maneshwar Basumatary hails from Tamulpur in Baksa district of Assam. The 48-year-old man had left behind his wife Sanmati Basumatary and two children Didwmsry Basumatary and Dhananjoy Basumatary.
“We want justice. We want all the terrorists responsible for killing my father and his fellow-jawans punished,” his daughter, Didwmsry, told local reporters.
Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal has condemned the incident and tweeted, “Strongly condemn the cowardly attack on #CRPF jawans in #Pulwama. Terror has no place in India and we must together fight this menace as a nation. My heart goes out to the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives today. Deepest condolences”.

In an epic achievement, Indian security forces, on Monday, successfully gunned down top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Abdul Rasheed Ghazi aka Kamran and one more Jaish terrorist, in a fierce 12-hour-long encounter with multiple JeM terrorists in J&K’s Pulwama area.
It has been said that Ghazi was a Pakistani national and the mastermind behind the Pulwama attack. Ghazi, who was an Afghan war veteran and an IED specialist, was the one who trained the 20-year-old youth identified as Adil Dar, the terrorist from Pulwama who rammed the explosive-laden vehicle into the CRPF convoy on February 14.
Ghazi was one of the closest and most trusted right hand of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar.
