CRPF inspector Dilip Kumar Das, who was martyred during a Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh, was cremated with full state honours in his village at Sarupeta in newly-created Barpeta district.

Das was serving as an inspector with the 210 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Chhattisgarh.

After the attack on Saturday, the missing body of Das was found in the wee hours of Sunday and was immediately sent to the district hospital in Raipur, where the doctors declared him ‘dead’.

The mortal remains of the martyr reached Guwahati airport on Tuesday morning.

From there, his mortal remains were taken to 175 CRPF camp situated at Dharapur and then to his hometown at Sarupeta in Bhabanipur. Das joined the CRPF in 2001.
