-

MOGA: Jaimal Singh, 44, the driver of the CRPF vehicle that was blown up after a suicide bomber rammed an explosivel­aden SUV into it in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama, talked to his wife Sukhjit Kaur barely hours before the attack on Thursday.

Jaimal of Moga district’s Ghalauti village, who joined the Central Reserve Police Force in 1993, was on leave recently and returned to Jammu on January 28. “He told me that he is going to Srinagar. The call lasted for a minute only. I kept calling his number throughout the day, but could not connect,” said Sukhjit.

Jaimal is survived by Sukhjit, six-year-old son and a younger brother. The couple’s only child was born after 18 years of marriage, the family members said..
