Sukhjinder Singh from Tarn Taran, who was among the 40 CRPF jawans killed in the Pulwama terror attack, had sent a video clip to his wife minutes before his bus was blown up in the suicide bombing . 

The video was shared by the late jawan's wife on Saturday.

The slain CRPF jawan Sukhjinder Singh, belonging to 76 Battalion,  had sent the video clip just minutes after boarding the ill-fated bus.

The video shows the national highway through which the CRPF convoy was passing. It also gives a glimpse of Sukhjinder along with other jawans who were traveling with him on that bus.

As per the reports, Singh had joined the force in 2003 when he was just 19 years old and was promoted to Head Constable around eight months ago.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed and five injured on February 14 in one of the deadliest terror strikes in Jammu and Kashmir when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into their bus in Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir

The bus was part of a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel from Jammu to Srinagar. More than 2,500 Central Reserve Police Force personnel, many of them returning from leave to rejoin duty in the Valley, were travelling in the convoy.

The attack was the worst-ever attack in Jammu and Kashmir since militancy erupted in the state in1989.

The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the horror and released a video clip of the suicide bomber, a 'commander' identified as Adil Ahmad Dar, which it claimed was shot before the young man carried out the strike in Lethpora.
