Hyderabad: A cover of gloom hung heavy at the home of Army jawan Ryada Mahesh from Telangana who was martyred in Kashmir on Sunday, as the news of his demise was passed on to his family. He was married for only a year.
Son of a farmer couple in Komanpally village of Velpur Mandal in Nizamabad area, Mahesh, 26, had come up in life the most difficult way possible.
His parents and wife were heartbroken after becoming aware of the news of his demise. His parents Ryada Raju and Gangamallu, the two farmers, were shocked over the loss of their son.
They recollected that he had last called them on November 2, saying that he was going on a patrol with his colleagues in a close-by area. That was the last time they heard from him.
Mahesh was amongst the four security personnel and three militants killed during an unsuccessful infiltration bid by militants along the Line of Control in Machil Sector of Kupwara area in Jammu and Kashmir, on Sunday.
The family was at first educated that he had sustained critical injuries in the encounter. Afterward, they were informed that he had passed away.
Subsequent to finishing intermediate studies (plus two) from a private college in Nizamabad, Mahesh passed the competitive examination to be chosen for the Army in 2014-15. Following his training, he was posted in Assam and later at Dehradun prior to his transfer to Jammu and Kashmir.
He had gotten married to Suhasini, daughter of an Army official, a year back. Mahesh was the younger of the two siblings. His big brother works in the Gulf.
The parents recollected that he had last returned to home in December a year ago. They had told him to be cautious in view the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
