Commando gets fitting farewell

Correspondent

MAHBUBNAGAR: The last rites of Mohd. Salahuddin (24), a Junior Commando who lost his life in the Maoist attack in Chitrakonda recently, were performed in his native village of Annasagar, 15 km from here. Before the funeral, the body was taken in a procession with full honours, including a gun salute, as anti-Maoist slogans and cries of ‘Police Amar Hai’ rent the air. Salahuddin belonged to the 2005 batch of recruits at the 10th Battalion of Andhra Pradesh Special Police, Beechpalli and later moved to the Greyhounds. Additional Superintendent G. Satyanarayana was present on the occasion.
