NAGPUR: Rajesh Rajput spoke to his younger brother Sanjay, a CRPF jawan, over the phone on Thursday morning. Little did he know that it would be their last conversation. Sanjay Rajput (45) was among the 44 jawans killed in the attack. A pall of gloom descended over the CRPF Group Centre Colony here, where Sanjay’s family lives, as the news came.

Rajesh told PTI his brother, in 23-year-long career with the paramilitary force, had served in Kashmir, Chhattisgarh and also in the North-East. The Rajput family hails from Malkapur in  Buldhana district. Sanjay’s mortals remains are expected to arrive in Nagpur on Saturday.
