'Shattered' family of Gobinder Singh wants job for his son

The family Gobinder Singh, one of the 39 Indians massacred by terror group ISIS in Iraq, find themselves a shattered lot.

Despite Gobinder Singh's disappearance years ago, they were hopeful that one day he would walk back through the entrance of their residence in Murar village in Kapurthala district where he is survived by a 19-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter.

"He left home and went to Iraq in 2014 to earn money for the family. He wanted his son Amandeep to study and become an engineer," said a grieving Davinder Singh, younger brother of the deceased.

Gobinder Singh worked as a labourer in a factory here before moving to Iraq, he said.

"The news of Gobinder's death has left our family completely shattered," said Davinder adding we were hoping that one day he may return."
