A wave of grief has swept through the family of a dedicated security officer after CRPF personnel Rajkumar passed away while undergoing medical treatment in Amethi. The 53-year-old officer, who had served the nation for over two decades, succumbed to a prolonged illness that had plagued him for the last two months.
A Long Battle With Illness
Rajkumar was stationed at the Trisundi CRPF Center in Ramganj, Amethi. According to his son, Amit Kumar, the veteran officer had joined the Central Reserve Police Force in 1997. However, his health began to decline significantly over the past few months, forcing him to take medical leave to seek specialized care.
In an effort to recover, Rajkumar was treated at various departmental hospitals, including facilities in Bijnor and Lucknow. While he had been discharged and returned to his home in Shahbari village, located in the Sangipur area of Pratapgarh district, about a week ago, the relief was short-lived.
Tragedy Strikes Suddenly
The family's hopes for his recovery were shattered when Rajkumar's condition took a sudden and severe turn for the worse. In a desperate attempt to save him, family members rushed him to the district hospital in Amethi. Unfortunately, upon arrival and examination, the attending doctors declared him dead.
The sudden demise has left his wife, Urmila, and his son, Amit Kumar, in a state of profound shock and distress, with the family now facing an uncertain future without the patriarch of the household.
Final Rites With Full Honors
Following the news of his passing, a team from the Trisundi CRPF Center arrived at the district hospital's post-mortem house to coordinate the necessary formalities. After the post-mortem examination was completed, the CRPF team took charge of the mortal remains.
The fallen officer was transported back to his ancestral village in Pratapgarh, where he will be cremated with a guard of honor, marking a final, respectful farewell to a man who spent 27 years in the service of the country.
