The Army on Saturday said Amritpal Singh, an Agniveer, died on October 11 from a self-inflicted injury due to which no guard of honour or military funeral was provided to him, in accordance with the existing policy.
A video of the last rites being conducted by the family of Singh has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), drawing sharp comments and criticism from veterans and the public on how Agniveers are not getting the honour given to regular soldiers.
