CM Sukhvinder Sukhu on Monday expressed sorrow over the demise of a soldier from Himachal Pradesh due to an illness, according to an official statement.

The release said Vinay Kumar (25), who hailed from Pohal village of Mandi district, died during treatment at Jalandhar. In an earlier statement issued here, Sukhu had said that Kumar died while fighting terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. The revised statement, however, did not mention this. The CM prayed for peace to the departed soul and strength to the bereaved family members.
