AGRA: The body of 45-year-old Army subedar, Shyamveer Singh, who died of a heart attack early on Wednesday in Ladakh, arrived in his native village Malupur in Agra in UP on Thursday evening.
The last rites were performed late at night.
Talking to TOI, Singh’s nephew Yashvendra Singh said that they had received a call on Wednesday morning - about 5am, two-and-a-half hours after his death.
“My uncle had taken premature retirement to spend time with his family. His wife is suffering from heart disease and he was due to retire in December this year,” he said, adding that his daughter Poornima is pursuing BSc and son Harsh has cleared XII exam.
“He had planned to shift to his village from the city where his family is currently living. He had spent money on the construction of a new house. He died before moving in,” Yashvendra said.
Singh is survived by four siblings. His elder brother Chandraveer Singh is a cop with UP Police, Gyanveer Singh is a farmer, and the youngest, Dalveer Singh, is a software engineer in the United States.
