Telugu Soldier Murali Naik Killed in Pakistan Border Firing
Following Operation Sindoor, tensions have escalated between India and Pakistan. Unable to tolerate the outcomes of the operation, Pakistan has been engaging in hostile actions at the Indian border, including missile and drone attacks, according to available information.
Amid these rising hostilities, a Telugu jawan, Murali Naik, was martyred in firing initiated by Pakistani forces along the Jammu and Kashmir border. The deceased soldier has been identified as Murali Naik.
Murali Naik hailed from Kalli Tanda village under Gorantla Mandal in the Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh. On Thursday night, Pakistani forces opened fire along the border, prompting the Indian Army to retaliate strongly. During this exchange of fire, Murali Naik reportedly lost his life.
The mortal remains of the jawan are expected to arrive at his native village on Saturday.
Murali Naik grew up in Naginayani Cheruvuthanda of Somandepalli Mandal. He completed his schooling at Vignan School in Somandepalli. His death has plunged his family into grief, and his native village, Kalli Tanda, is engulfed in mourning.
