FEROZEPUR: Lakhwinder Singh, 65, who was critically injured in a Pakistani drone attack during Operation Sindoor, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday night after nearly two months of treatment. A resident of Khai Pheme Ke village in Punjab’s Ferozepur district, Lakhwinder had sustained severe burns when parts of an explosive-laden drone struck his home.
He was rushed to a hospital in Ludhiana, around 140 km away, but despite ongoing medical care, could not survive.
His wife, Sukhwinder Kaur, 60, had died just days after the incident, on May 13.
Ferozepur Senior Superintendent of Police Bhupinder Singh Sidhu confirmed Lakhwinder’s death. The tragic incident highlights the growing threat posed by cross-border drone activity in border regions.
