His 60-year-old mother was inconsolable. According to the relatives of Bhushan, she was not informed of his death as she suffers from serious health issues. She was recently discharged from the hospital after being admitted for a week.
Bhushan’s father, Chennaveerappa, was sitting close to the body kept for public view. His wife, Sujata, was seen speaking to relatives. She said, “We should not have gone to Kashmir.”
A neighbour told South First, “Bhushan was holding his son. The terrorists asked for his name. When he told them his name was Bhushan, they asked him to hand over his son to his wife. Then they shot him.”
His three-year-old son, Havish, was with the relatives inside the house. Bhushan’s elder brother, Preetham, had also accompanied him to Kashmir. He was devastated after his brother was brutally killed. He said, “They shot two bullets and he was gone. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
The body will be cremated in Hebbal crematorium at 3 pm on Thursday.
