Major Kaustubh Rane

The BJP was left red-faced after a video, showing its legislator and corporators attending a birthday party in adjoining Mira Road township, went viral, at a time when people were expecting the body of Major Kaustubh Rane, who attained martyrdom in Kashmir.

It was an emotional homecoming for an Army Major, among the four personnel killed fighting terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, who arrived in a coffin wrapped in the Indian flag. His family, friends and residents of Thane, near Mumbai, showered flowers, raised slogans of "Major Kaustubh Rane, Amar Rahe" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".
