Deputy CM And DGP Pay Tribute To BSF Martyr Akhilesh Rai; Last Rites In Sherpur’s Uttar Pradesh Village

During a search operation in the village of Sardkatola, Kanker district, BSF Head Constable Akhilesh Rai tragically lost his life due to an IED blast. The poignant moment saw Deputy CM Arun Sawhney and DGP Ashok Juneja paying tribute at the airport, personally carrying the fallen soldier’s mortal remains. The weight of emotions was palpable as Deputy CM Arun Sawhney and DGP Ashok Juneja solemnly bore the burden.

Akhilesh Rai, hailing from Sherpur village in Gazipur, Uttar Pradesh, met his martyrdom on Thursday in a Chhattisgarh IED blast. The news unleashed a wave of grief in his ancestral village, Sherpur. The fallen hero’s mortal remains are scheduled to arrive at Lucknow airport on Friday afternoon, proceeding thereafter to his hometown, Sherpur.

The helicopter conveyed Akhilesh Rai’s mortal remains to the Raipur BSF camp, where Deputy CM Arun Sawhney and various BSF officials paid their respects in a poignant morning ceremony. Anticipated at Lucknow around 2:45 PM, the 11th Battalion BSF will then transport his remains to Sherpur (Gazipur), with the Last rites slated for Saturday.

Akhilesh Rai, leaving behind a son and three daughters, comes from a family deeply rooted in BSF service, as evidenced by his elder brother currently stationed in Delhi. The soldier’s father had passed away in 2018, adding a layer of poignancy to this sacrifice for the nation.
