CRPF Jawans Step In For Fallen Comrade, Perform Kanyadaan For His Daughter, Touching Pics Go Viral
This gesture symbolizes homage to CRPF Constable Rakesh Kumar Meena, who sacrificed his life combating Naxals in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur District in 2010.
In a touching ceremony that deeply moved many, Sarika tied the knot with Narendra Meena on April 23 in Alwar, Rajasthan. However, what made this wedding particularly poignant was the presence and participation of CRPF jawans, who not only attended but also performed the kanyadaan, symbolising the solemn act of giving away the bride.
The significance behind this gesture lies in the story of Sarika's father, the late CRPF Constable Rakesh Kumar Meena, who made the ultimate sacrifice for his nation. Constable Rakesh Kumar Meena, serving with the 168 Bn, lost his life valiantly fighting Naxals in Bijapur District, Chhattisgarh, on May 8, 2010. Despite his absence, his spirit resonated strongly throughout the wedding ceremony, as his comrades stood in solidarity with his family.
Sharing glimpses of the touching ceremony, the Indian Military Updates page on Instagram captured the essence of the occasion, stating, ¡°CRPF Personnel Attended The Wedding Ceremony Of Sarika Meena, Daughter Of Shaheed CRPF Constable Rakesh Kumar Meena, At His Residence In Dubi Village, Alwar District, Rajasthan."
