Wife of Kanpur man killed in Pahalgam attack demands martyr status, says 'I don't want anything else...'

The wife of Shubham Dwivedi, a Kanpur-based businessman who was killed in the recent Pahalgam terror attack, has demanded that he be accorded martyr status for sacrificing his life to save others. "He proudly sacrificed his life by identifying himself as a Hindu and saved the lives of many people," said Ashanya, speaking to reporters on Saturday. Shubham, 31, had married Ashanya just over two months ago, on February 12. He was among the 26 people, mostly tourists, who were killed during the terror attack at Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam on April 22. His last rites were performed in his native village near Kanpur on Thursday.
