“Blasts occur even in India. We have served in Srinagar and Ladakh also. We are not scared. We are courageous. We will go back again,” says ITBP constable, Om Prakash Yadav.
Yadav was one of the 141 people injured in the blasts at the Indian embassy in Kabul. A driver constable posted at the embassy since August 2007, Yadav says this was the first time he witnessed a terror attack there. He said that he had only heard about such incidents earlier.
“I got hurt and as I saw smoke, I also saw two guards falling off. I saw that the car was burning,” says Om Prakash.
Virendra Singh, who was also injured and is in the hospital, claims to have seen the car carrying the bomb.
"There was a cab that reversed and it could have had the bomb and then there was a blast. However, after the blast, I don’t remember anything," says constable, Virendra.
When the blast occurred, Virendra Singh, who was on India House duty in Kabul, was returning after making a phone call to his family, something that was a daily morning routine for him.
At the AIIMS Trauma Centre now, Singh is dealing with multiple fractures and a critical injury in his abdomen and will be bed-ridden for three months.
Nevertheless, he is raring to return to duty. “"I have a two-year term there. It is a big responsibility as we provide security to the MEA staff,” says Virendra Singh.
The blasts may have inflicted scars on Virendra Singh and Om Prakash but these soldiers say such acts of terrorism would not dampen their spirits.
