It’s almost more than a week after 45 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed in the Pulwama attack. Now, a video of CRPF personnel taken minutes before their bus was targetted in the suicide bombing has surfaced.

According to India Today, the video is shared by the martyr’s wife. It is reported that the slain CRPF jawan Sukhjinder Singh, belonging to 76 Battalion from Taran Taran had sent the video to his wife just minutes after boarding the ill-fated CRPF bus. The video, shot on 14 February, shows snow-covered Jammu Srinagar national highway through which the CRPF convoy was passing. Singh, among the 40 CRPF personnel who were killed in the attack, can also be seen in the video.

In one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir’s three decades of militancy, a JeM suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a CRPF bus in Pulwama district on February 14, killing around 40 personnel and leaving many critically wounded.
