Aadhaar cards, ID cards, leave applications and certain other articles were the only things left of most of the 44 CRPF personnel killed in the Pulwama terror attack that helped their colleagues identify them, officials said on Friday.
Officials said as the bodies of the troops were badly mutilated and charred due on the impact of the RDX-triggered blast, it became very difficult to ascertain their identities. Most of the slain jawans were either identified by their Aadhaar cards, force IDs, PAN cards or leave applications kept in their pockets and bags.
