Zohra’s picture went viral on social media. She was inconsolably weeping while witnessing the last rites of her father. The Jammu and Kashmir police also extended their sympathies to the aggrieved family through their Twitter account. Soon, donations started pouring in as the J&K police appealed to the citizens of the valley to contribute as much as possible for Abdul Rashid, who killed in the line of duty.

Gautam Gambhir is known to make such noble gestures. He runs a foundation – ‘The Gautam Gambhir Foundation’ which supports the family of martyrs. Recently, the cricketer had announced that his foundation will support the education expenses of the children of the 25 CRF men who were killed in a Maoist attack in Chattisgarh.
