Major Kaustubh was one of the 4 soldiers who got martyred in an attack by the infiltrators in Kashmir’s Bandipora district last year.

While the infiltrators couldn’t implement what they had set out to do, 4 brave officers including Major Kaustubh lost their lives in the process of stopping them.

Showing great spirit, his wife Kanika has decided to join the Army and will begin training at the National Defence Academy (NDA) soon. She has already cleared the Service Selection Board exam and once her training period is over, she will be serving the nation exactly like her husband.

Talking to Mirror Now, Kanika said that it was her husband who taught her to face life’s challenges boldly.

Kaustubh used to say that if life pushes you down, you always have the harness to pull yourself back.

A project manager until few months ago, Kanika is ready to turn her life around and we salute her for that.
