New Delhi: The India Gate on Saturday saw an outpouring of grief and outrage over the abduction and killing of 22-year-old Kashmiri army officer Ummer Fayaz by militants. The path Fayaz chose should inspire the people,” former Indian Army chief General Deepak Kapoor said. The march, that went around the India Gate circle, saw people raising slogans hailing his “sacrifice”. The alumni association of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, where Fayaz studied before joining the Pune-based National Defence Academy, were among the marchers, along with members of the 124 infantry battalion of the Territorial Army. This was for the first time that he had taken leave after joining the army, a senior official said.
