The mother of Ashok Chakra awardee Major Mohit Sharma has expressed her anguish over the distribution of benefits under the Next of Kin (NOK) criteria. In an emotional video, she claimed that the family has been left with "nothing but tears," while her daughter-in-law receives all the benefits meant for the NOK. This follows similar concerns raised by Captain Anshuman Singh’s parents, who have also questioned the criteria that prioritize spouses over parents in the distribution of benefits for martyrs. The families argue that parents, who have sacrificed their sons for the nation, are often overlooked in favour of the spouse. The controversy has sparked a broader debate on how the NOK criteria should be applied, prompting calls for a more inclusive approach to honour the sacrifices of all family members of fallen soldiers. Captain Anshuman Singh’s Father and Mother Seek Revision of NOK Criteria, Say Their Daughter-in-Law Smriti Singh No More Stays With Family (Watch Video).
