Baripada: The body of Indian Army jawan, who was found dead near train track in Haryana, was brought to his village in Mayurbhanj district on Saturday.

Subedar Chandrakant Sejapada of Khanua village under Badasahi police limits in Mayurbhanj district, who was posted in Rajasthan, had come to his village for his sister’s marriage. After the marriage was over, he had returned to his place of posting in train on May 9.

On Wednesday, the Government Railway Police (GRP) found Chandrakant’s body near the train track at Bahadurgarh in Haryana and informed the Army authorities after identifying him from his uniform.

After following due process, the Army personnel handed over the body to his family members for performing the last rites on Saturday.
