The family had earlier also demanded the same to Uttar Pradesh Minister Durga Prasad Yadav.

Shocked over the incident, both Hemraj's mother Meena Devi and his wife Dharmavati have refused to eat for the last few days.

29-year-old Hemraj hailed from Shernagar village in Mathura district in Uttar Pradesh.

On January 8, the two soldiers -- Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh -- were killed near the LoC by Pakistani troops. The jawans belonged to 13 Rajputana Rifles.
