February 14 marks a ‘black day’ for the Tripathi family in Uttar Pradesh’s Maharajganj, forever scarred by the Pulwama terror attack seven years ago, where India lost 40 brave Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans, including their son Constable Pankaj Tripathi. Wrapped in the tricolour, Pankaj left behind an unborn three-month-old daughter, a three-year-old son, his wife and aging parents- his mother succumbing to grief just a year later. In an emotional India TV exclusive interview, Pankaj’s younger brother Shubham Tripathi, with tears in his eyes, revealed how the children still believe their father is away on duty and opened up about the family’s enduring hardships.
