Sepoy Samiullah, who embraced martyrdom along with six other soldiers in an ambush during an Intelligence-Based Operation (IBO) in North Waziristan on Saturday, was honoured by the people of Hunza upon the return of his body to the region.
Seven troops, including an army officer, embraced martyrdom and nine terrorists were killed in the incident.
In a video doing rounds on social media, Samiullah’s body was received by scores of local residents of Hunza. A massive convoy of motorbikes and other vehicles drove along with the ambulance his body was placed in.
