Gobindpura Basri (Jaipur): CRPF jawan Rohitash Lamba’s younger brother Jeetendra could not muster courage to break the life-shattering news to his parents and sister-in-law.Since Thursday evening he did not dare to go home, not knowing how he could handle the crushing truth, and spent the night at panchayat samiti office. But at 3.30 pm on Friday, when Babu Lal, father of the martyr, and other relatives got the news, Jeetendra had no other way than to harden his heart and try to control the situation.The mortal remains of the martyr are likely to arrive in the village late on Friday evening and would be consigned to flames on Saturday with full state honours.In the afternoon, the uncontrollable Rohitash’s wife Manju Devi was rushed to a hospital after she fainted even as her family members told her that her husband went missing after the attack.“I came to know about it late on Thursday evening but kept mum. I immediately called up some of my relatives and decided not to share the information to anyone till Friday afternoon. The family members were enquiring but I told that he is missing. I knew he was no more but could not share it then,” said Jeetendra talking to TOI.Jeetendra, who is also preparing to join para- military forces, said Rohitash came home on December 18, after becoming father of a son. “He had to leave on January 2 but left a day earlier as he always maintained that one should be on time for duty.”“I had asked my brother to give me Rs 2,000 as I had to visit Delhi for an interview. He gave me Rs 5000 and asked me to get some good shirts and trousers,” Jeetendra added.Babu Lal is shaken and quiet, but said, “No money or government support can help the son grow up as the son needs his father.”Rohitash was only earning member in his family. He is survived by his wife, infant son, father and mother.
