Gloom pervaded Dabeerpet village in Khanapur mandal of Warangal district on Friday afternoon after news that a local youth identified as Rakesh, an Army job aspirant, was killed when police allegedly opened fire to control unruly protesters, who went on a rampage at Secunderabad Railway Station.
The loss of their beloved son, who nurtured a dream to join the Indian Army, left his parents, Kumara Swamy and Poolamma, both farm workers, heartbroken.
Friends and relatives besides a host of elected representatives of the local bodies consoled the grieving parents. One of his family members is serving in the Central Armed Police Force.
