The suicide bomb attack at Pulwama, on February 14, was so intense that CRPF soldiers were burned to death under the intense blaze due to 300 kg RDX blast. All that could be recovered later on were bits and pieces of their body parts. 18 coffins of the 40 martyred soldiers were almost completely empty; their family members could cremate only the shreds of uniform worn by the CRPF Jawan.
