Wife of Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal, who was killed in an encounter in Kashmir's Pulwama district on Monday, is set to join the Indian Army as an officer.
Nitika Dhoundiyal has already cleared the Service Selection Board (SSB) examination — a test to recruit candidates into the Armed forces as officers. She has also made it through the medical examination and is waiting for the merit waiting list. “I am hopeful that I will get through it too and will join the Army thereafter,” she said in a video shared by a journalist on Twitter. As a tribute to her husband, 28-year-old Nitika will wear the stars from her husband's uniform on her first day of service.
