Paratrooper Karamjeet Singh, who was killed in an accidental fire from his own gun in Kashmir, was cremated with full military honours at his native Hafizabad village near here on Saturday. Karamjeet was attached with the 23 Para Regiment.
On Friday, when he, along with a party of his regiment, was returning from patrolling in Shopian in a Gypsy, a bullet fired from his weapon accidentally led to the tragedy.
His father Satnam Singh had died four months ago. Karamjeet is survived by his mother and two sisters.
Local MLA and Cabinet Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and SAD leader Simranjit Singh Chandumajra also reached the village to pay tributes to the martyr.
