After Captain Anshuman Singh's parents raised concerns over Next of Kin policies, Promila Devi, mother of late fighter pilot Nishant Singh, who lost his life in a MiG crash, has also voiced her anguish. While speaking to Amar Ujala News, Promila Devi revealed that despite her son's sacrifice, she has received no financial support as all funds were directed to her son's wife. Devi, now facing difficult times in her old age with no one to care for her, highlighted the neglect faced by parents of fallen officers and called for a review of military policies. Devi highlighted the plight of parents who rely solely on their children and advocated for them to receive compensatory grants alongside widows under current Army regulations. Devi, in the interview, said, "Elderly father and mother should get a part of financial assistance." The issue stems from the precedence given to spouses over parents as NOK, leading to disparities in ex-gratia distributions upon a soldier’s demise in service. 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).
