Surendra Kumar, a resident of Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu, who had been working as a medical assistant for the Indian Air Force, was killed in a Pakistani air strike early on Saturday in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir.

Surendra Kumar had been serving in the medical wing of the Indian Air Force for the past 14 years. He was posted in 39 Wing, Udhampur. His death was confirmed by the Army Headquarters, which informed his brother-in-law Jai Prakash via phone. The medical assistant's uncle, Subhash Moga, recalled him as a patriotic and helpful person who regularly motivated local youth to join the armed forces.

Surendra Kumar had returned to duty on April 15 after spending time with his family.

He had recently constructed a new house in his village, and the ‘Griha Pravesh' (housewarming) ceremony was held just days before his return to base. He is survived by his wife Seema, an 8-year-old daughter, and a 5-year-old son. His father, Shishupal Singh, a retired CRPF personnel, had passed away earlier. As of now, no official confirmation has been given on when the body will be brought to his native village for the funeral.
