AGARTALA, Nov 10 (TIWN): In Jammu and Kashmir anti-terror operation, Tripura's son Sudip Sarkar was also martyred. His dead body has been brought to Tripura today. To see him, mass gathering was followed in the MBB Airport. But for a mother, her children are everything and the last hope for survival. Martyr Sudip Sarkar's mother is unable to believe that he is no more. Sudip Sarkar recently also lost his father and promised her mother that he will look after her and take care of her. When family was expecting Sudip Sarkar's transfer in Tripura, in a dark night for the family in anti-terror operation, along with 3 more soldiers of India, Sudip Sarkar lost his life. Martyr Sudip Sarkar's body will arrive tomorrow in his own house. Former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has visited the martyr's home and talked to the family members.

Sudip Sarkar lost his life during an encounter at Kammu and Kashmir. An officer of the Indian Army and three security personnel, including a constable of the Border Security Force or BSF, were martyred in the line of duty during a major anti-terror operation along the Line of Control or LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district. One of the BSF jawans who was also martyred is from Tripura named Sudip Sarkar. State has been condoling over the incident.  Three terrorists were also gunned down in the anti-terror operation, which took place in north Kashmir's Machil sector, they said. This is one of the biggest encounters in the Union Territory since April.  Around 1 am, a patrol party of the Border Security Force noticed suspicious movements near the Line of Control and challenged the intruders, leading to a three-hour gun-battle in which a terrorist was eliminated. One BSF constable was killed in action. 

"Constable Sudip Sarkar lost his life during the operation in Machil Sector. Reinforcements received from Indian Army, the Joint operation still underway," said the Border Security Force.  The gun-battle ended around 4 am, as the army moved in reinforcements.
