Adarsh, younger brother of ASP Akash Rao Giripunje who was killed in action in a pressure IED blast in Chhattisgarh's Sukma, said, "A fitting tribute for his supreme sacrifice would be putting an end to Naxalism." "My brother was...strongest pillar of...family...He was...guiding spirit," Adarsh added. "I couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams that this would happen to us," he stated.
