His family is also in deep shock as it had hoped that their son would survive the latest battle as well after surviving in Siachen.

 

His wife Mahadevi had even expressed her last wish for him: "Dear God, the next time you want to take a life, please take mine. Let my husband live to protect the country, he should survive."

"It is a second birth for him," Hanumanthappa's mother Basamma had said.
