Indian Army chief General Dalbir Singh on Wednesday paid his last respects to a soldier killed in an ambush by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
The ambush by terrorists on a patrolling column of the Rashtriya Rifles led to a gun battle in Kulgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which a soldier and a 'district commander' of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were killed.

The body was kept in the army's base hospital in the national capital, where General Dalbir Singh laid a wreath.
