Vinay Narwal's sister met the Haryana CM and pleaded for justice for his brother. She said, "I want the head of the terrorist who killed my brother. They asked him if he was a Muslim or not, and then they shot him three times. I want them dead."

"My brother was alive for almost 1.5 hours, but he didn’t get any help. He could have been saved," Vinay's sister added.

Earlier in the day, a wreath-laying ceremony was held at the Cargo Terminal in Delhi before his mortal remains were sent to his hometown in Karnal. Grieving family members, friends and relatives were also there to pay tribute to the jawan.

Narwal was married seven days before the attack. the widow of the deceased Vinay stood inconsolable at the funeral ceremony held in honor of her husband.

She gathered her strength to share a few final words to the remains of her beloved, capturing both sorrow and admiration. "I hope his soul rest in peace. He lived a good life. He made us really proud, and we should keep this pride in every way," she said, her voice trembling with emotion as she broke down.
