Air Chief Marshal A P Singh on Wednesday visited the family of late Sergeant Surendra Kumar in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, who was killed in the line of duty during Operation Sindoor.

Accompanied by his wife, Sarita Singh, the Chief of the Air Staff met Kumar’s mother, Nanu Devi, his wife, Seema, and children, Vritika and Daksh, at their home in village Mehradasi.
The Indian Air Force, in a social media post, confirmed the visit and paid tribute to Kumar’s service and sacrifice. The circumstances surrounding his death have not yet been disclosed.

“It is worthwhile to mention that Jhunjhunu has a proud legacy of service to the nation, with 21,700 ex-servicemen hailing from the district and 3,552 serving Air Warriors in the Indian Air Force,” the IAF said.
