An Indian Army soldier met a tragic end during training at the Special Forces Training School. Mohit Kumar, aged 26, was given a final farewell with full honors in his home village in Faridabad. The emotional ceremony saw a turnout of many mourners and distinguished officials.

Mohit, residing in Sahupura village, sustained a head injury while practicing boxing at the training school located in the Bakloh military cantonment. Although admitted to a military hospital, his condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to his untimely demise on Sunday, as informed by officials.

Honoring a life devoted to service, Mohit Kumar's funeral was attended by Union Minister Krishnapal Gurjar, MLA Moolchand Sharma, and several political representatives. Remembered for his aspirations of serving the country, Mohit joined the army eight years ago and was newly positioned at the Special Forces Training School, only 40 days prior.
