DNA: Women of Rajasthan village break with tradition, give final salute to Sukma martyr Banna Ram – Watch

Jaipur: At least 25 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and seven wounded in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district on Monday, the deadliest ambush by naxalites of security forces this year.

A pall of gloom descended on Rajasthan's Sikar district when the news of Banna Ram's killing surfaced.

In Rajasthan, women, along with their children, came out in large numbers to attend the cremation of Banna Ram.

Notably, in the Land of Royalty, women do not attend cremation or take part in funeral processions.

However, for the Sukma martyr, the women of the village broke with tradition and gave a heartfelt tribute to Banna Ram.
