Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma condole death of CRPF personnel in Pulwama

Team India captain Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma have expressed their condolences to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel who were killed during a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Thursday.

In what is being reported as one of the deadliest attacks in decades on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, at least 44 CRPF personnel lost their lives when a suicide bomber rammed a car containing explosive close to 320 kgs into a bus carrying the Indian paramilitary police.

Reacting to the Pulwama horror, Kohli wrote: “I’m shocked after hearing about the attack in Pulwama, heartfelt condolences to the martyred soldiers & prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured jawaans.”

Condemning the attack, Anushka wrote: “It is extremely painful to read about the attack on our brave #CRPF jawans in #Pulwama. My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of our martyred soldiers.”

India women’s team skipper Mithali Raj, too paid her respects to the lives lost and condemned the terrorist attack in Pulwama.

“As the news continues to pour in on the attack in #Pulwama yesterday, my heart goes out to the martyrs, their families, the grieving, in these days of bereavement. Deeply disturbed,” Mithali tweeted.
