CRPF soldier Guru's wife says she is proud of her husband
"My husband was protecting country, but he did not get protection"
Bengaluru, February 15: “How my husband was killed, they (terrorists) should also be killed in the same way..” said Kalavathi, wife of CRPF soldier Guru, who was killed in the terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir.
She said that “I got the news of my husband’s death at 11 pm. Yesterday, my husband called me. As I was busy in household works, I could not receive the call. But when I tried again, I could not reach him. Though I had the last opportunity to speak to him over phone, it was my fate like my husband’s that I could not get the chance”, she said.
“Give me my husband back. If it is the everyday incident that the soldiers who protect the border of the country meet such accidental deaths, send them all back home. At least, they could protect and guard their family members”, Kalavati said in her grief.
Guru was working in Srinagar. But she said that he did not convey her that he was going to Pulwama.
“Despite worst weather, my husband has worked in different parts of the country. He used to tell me about the problems while protecting the border. I am proud of him for protecting the country. Unfortunately, he did not get the protection when he required it”, she said.
District Minister CS Puttaraju said that the government has decided to give a government job to Kalavathi. Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, former prime minister HD Deve Gowda, former chief minister Siddaramaiah, opposition leader BS Yeddyurappa paid their homage to the soldier.

21 hours raid fetch nothing for ED, claims Karnataka Cong MLA’s son
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris' son Mohammed Haris Nalapad on Tuesday claimed that the 21 hours of search by the ED in his house and other locations did not fetch anything.
The Enforcement Directorate on Monday raided the premises of the two sons of Haris (Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad), Aqeeb Khan, grandson of ex-Union cabinet minister K Rahman Khan and an alleged crypto hacker named Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki in a crypto currency-linked money laundering case.
More than a dozen premises in the city have been covered as part of the action executed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
"My grandfather is 89-year-old. There is not a single bad mark. My father (N A Haris) is a four-time MLA. There is not a single accusation against him. Their only intention was to target myself and my brother. As simple as that," Mohammed Nalapad, who is a former Karnataka Youth Congress president, told reporters.
According to him, the ED officials carried out raids for 21 hours.
"After 21 hours of search, they took away only two mobile phones from our house. They did not get a single paisa. The ED will testify it," the Congress leader said.
Exuding faith in the law, he said he is ready to fight the case in court.
"Me and my father have opted for politics and we are in public life. You can call me whatever you want but I have not done anything wrong," Mohammed Nalapad said.
Regarding his relationship with Sriki, he said he knew him but had no clue what he was doing.
"I have never said that either me or my brother do not know Sriki. But how will I know what he does in his house? Can his crimes be linked to us," he asked.
The money laundering case stems from some Karnataka Police FIRs and chargesheets filed in a 2017 case of hacking of national and international websites, stealing of bitcoins and sale of these 'stolen' virtual digital assets (VDA) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.
The Nalapad brothers and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be the beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this alleged crypto-linked crime, the ED said.
