Family and friends on Saturday bid a tearful adieu to slain Delhi Police Special Cell officer M C Sharma, who died battling terrorists during an encounter.As the body of the 41-year-old was brought to his residence in South West Delhi's Dwarka area in a flower-decked vehicle, family members, neighbours and well wishers started chanting slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai (Long live Mother India)’ and ‘M C Sharma Amar Rahe (Long live M C Sharma).’
A Delhi Police contingent paid a gun salute to the departed officer, a winner of seven gallantry medals.
Sharma is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter. His son, who had been admitted to a hospital in Kirti Nagar with Dengue, was also brought home to bid farewell to his father.
The body of the slain inspector was brought from AIIMS, where a postmortem had been conducted, to Sharma's residence at Om Satyam Apartments, Sector 4 in Dwarka.
A large number of inconsolable relatives, neighbours and well wishers trailed the vehicle as the body was taken to the Nigamboth Ghat for cremation.
Sharma suffered several bullet injuries during the encounter with militants in the capital's Jamia Nagar area on Friday in which he led the Delhi police team. Two terrorists were killed and one arrested.
He later succumbed to his injuries at the Holy Family hospital.
The officer who joined the Delhi Police as a Sub-inspector in 1989 was instrumental in the killing of 35 terrorists and the arrest of another 80 militants, police sources claimed, adding he had killed 40 inter-state gangsters and arrested another 129.
