In a heartwarming display of kindness and respect, a police Sub-Inspector (SI) recently performed the last rituals for the mother of Most wanted  Maoist leader Kajuri Pandanna @ Jagan, who could not attend the funeral . The touching incident took place at the remote village of Kumuluwada under Sileru region (AP) which is 10 kms from Odisha Border, where the grieving family and community were touched by the SI’s gesture.

According to local sources, the Maoist leader’s mother had passed away after a prolonged illness, and her son was unable to attend the last rites .However, to their surprise, the local police SI arrived at the village to offer condolences and perform the final rites on behalf of the absent son.

The SI, identified as Mr. Ramkrishna of Sileru P.S, reportedly took charge of the arrangements and completed the necessary rituals with the help of the villagers. He is said to have carried out the funeral procession and offered prayers for the departed soul, much to the appreciation of the locals.

The incident has received widespread praise and recognition for the SI’s compassion and sensitivity towards the family and the deceased. The gesture is being seen as a positive example of how law enforcement officials can show empathy and respect towards those they serve, even in situations of conflict and tension.

The Maoist insurgency has been a persistent issue in several parts of India, leading to frequent clashes between the security forces and the militants. However, incidents like this show that there is still scope for humanity and compassion, even in situations of conflict.

The SI’s act of kindness has been applauded by many, with people hailing it as an inspiring example of how individuals can rise above differences and come together in moments of need. The incident has also raised hopes that such acts of empathy and kindness can help bridge the gap between the police and the local communities in the insurgency-affected areas.
