Srinagar: Senior BSF and police officers on Monday paid tributes to the BSF jawan killed in a militant attack on security forces in Baramulla district of north Kashmir.
Coffin carrying the body of constable Nitin Kumar, wrapped in tri-colour, was brought to BSF Subsidiary Training Centre Humhama near Srinagar Airport where Additional Director General of BSF Arun Kumar and Special Director General of Jammu and Kashmir police (coordination and law and order) SP Vaid joined other ranks and offered floral tributes to the jawan.
