The father of Naik Thapa, on October 12, urged the central government to take strict action against the neighbouring country.
Speaking to ANI, Teg Bahadur Thapa said, "Yesterday I was informed via a phone call that my son is no more. I am proud that my son has laid his life for the country but I think strict action should be taken against Pakistan."
Naik Thapa served the Indian Army for eight years.
