Col. Santosh Babu had bravely fought with Chinese troops at the LAC at the Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh and attained martyrdom on Monday night. Santosh Babu hailed from Telangana’s Suryapet. He had served as the Commanding Officer of 16 Bihar regiment. Santosh was the only son to retired SBI bank chief manager Upender and Manjula. In the 15-year-career, Santosh had received a commendation from the army-chief after he had fought terrorists earlier in Kupwara in Kashmir.

He was survived by his parents, his wife Santoshi, nine-year-old daughter Abhigna and four-year-old son Anirudh.

Babu had sacrificed his family time to the country.

Considering all his services, the Telangana state government has announced compensation of Rs 5 Crore, a land site and Group-1 cadre job to his wife. CM KCR’s announcement received a lot of appreciation from all around.
