Son sacrificed his life for the country, daughter-in-law ran away from her mother’s house as soon as she got ₹ 21 lakh as compensation! Martyr’s parents made big allegation of ‘secret’ court marriage

After the martyrdom of a brave soldier who sacrificed his life while protecting the country, a controversy has arisen in his house which has shocked the entire country. On June 13, an Indian Air Force plane crashed in Jorhat, Assam, in which promising Flying Lieutenant Shubham Kumar, resident of Jehanabad, Bihar, was martyred. This ordinary family, immersed in the deep sorrow of Shubham's martyrdom, is now facing a new family and legal crisis regarding the assistance amount of ₹ 21 lakh received from the government. The martyr's elderly parents allege that their daughter-in-law had secretly married their son by luring them into her trap and now she has gone to her parents' house with the check of ex-gratia received immediately after the martyrdom of her husband. The martyr's helpless father alleges that his son's wife Shreya Rai, with the help of local officials, got the check of the entire assistance amount transferred to her name and did not let the family know about it.

On one hand, while the whole country is paying homage to this brave son with tears in his eyes, on the other hand, the ongoing controversy over the compensation of ₹ 21 lakh and 'secret marriage' has created a stir from social media to political circles. Let us know the complete inside story of this sensitive matter. The game took place on the day of the funeral, the daughter-in-law quietly left for Azamgarh. On June 13, a transport plane of the Indian Air Force crashed during landing in Jorhat, Assam, in which the co-pilot survived but 5 soldiers including Shubham Kumar were martyred. The very next day i.e. on 14th June, Veer Shubham was cremated with full state honors at the historic Vishnupad crematorium in Gaya, where his younger brother Liturized them.

The martyr's family alleges that when the entire house was screaming after seeing Shubham's dead body, during the same funeral, a check of ₹ 21 lakh assistance amount from the Bihar government was handed over to Shubham's wife Shreya Rai. It is alleged that information about this entire government paperwork process was deliberately not given to Shubham's parents. As soon as the check came into Shreya's hand, instead of going to Shubham's house, she left for her maternal home in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh with her father and brother.

Journey from NDA to Air Force and first meeting with Army Lieutenant

Shubham Kumar, resident of Jehanabad, was very bright in studies since childhood and his dream was to serve the country. His father Amarendra Sharma told in a hoarse voice that in the year 2017, Shubham had passed the country's toughest NDA exam in his very first attempt. After this, from 2018 to 2021, he completed rigorous army training at the National Defense Academy, Pune. After completing his training, his first posting was in Hyderabad, where he rendered excellent services for 11 months. In the year 2025, when the family started looking for girls for Shubham's marriage, Shubham told a secret to the family through his mother. Shubham said that he likes a girl, who herself is posted as a Lieutenant in the Indian Army and her name is Shreya Rai. There was no limit to the happiness of the parents after knowing Shubham's choice. He immediately met the girl's family. After the consent of both the families, the date of the grand wedding was fixed in December 2025.

Weddings postponed after grandmother's death, then 'secret' wedding organized in Ahmedabad The story of this cheerful family took a turn when Just a few days before the wedding to be held in December 2025, Shubham's real grandmother died suddenly. According to Hindu Sanatan customs, due to Sutak being installed in the house, Shubham's family took a big decision to postpone this auspicious ceremony for a year. Martyr's father Amarendra Sharma alleges that while the marriage was being postponed, Shreya's family members wooed Shubham with their words and took him to Ahmedabad, Gujarat and secretly got the court marriage done. Shubham did not let his parents, brother or any relative know about this marriage. The father says that he had no idea about this court marriage until his son's plane crashed and in the investigation of government documents, Shreya's name came up as his wife.

'No mask on face and no gum', serious allegations against Circle Officer (CO) According to father Amarendra Sharma, on June 14, when the last rites were being performed at the cremation ground, Shreya had reached there wearing a mask on her face. The father alleges that no sorrow or tears for losing her husband were visible in her expression. She stood silently in a corner of the crematorium with her father and brother. The martyr's father has made very serious allegations against the Circle Officer (CO) of Hulasganj, Jehanabad. She says that the said CO, without taking her family into confidence or informing her, quietly called Shreya near the cremation ground on the same day and handed over a compensation check of ₹ 21 lakh issued by the Bihar government to her. Amarendra Sharma says that neither that government official nor his daughter-in-law Shreya told anything about this check to the elderly parents. As soon as the check came in hand, Shreya disappeared from there.

son As soon as the parents left their home, they were forced to live under a tin roof. According to information received from villagers and local sources, martyr Shubham Kumar's family comes from a very ordinary background and their financial condition is not very good. After the son became a senior officer in the Air Force, the eyes of the entire family were filled with joy. Everyone together had dreamed of building a permanent house in the village, for which Shubham had also sanctioned a big home loan from the bank. The construction work of the house was still half-completed when the news of Shubham's martyrdom fell upon the family like a lightning. At present, Shubham's old parents are forced to spend their days in a half-built house with a tin roof (Karkat) in the village. The villagers say that both Shubham's dream of marriage and a new house remained unfulfilled and now these elderly parents have to worry about repaying the huge bank loan. The helpless father is in a crying state, saying that if Shreya really loved his son and was his wife, then she should have stayed with us from the last rites to the Shraddha rites, and not turn her back and run away as soon as she got the government money.
