Thane (Maharashtra), Aug 8 (IANS): Thane resident, Major Kaustubh P. Rane, was among four Army men killed in Tuesday's encounter with terrorists near the Line of Control (LoC) in Bandipura, Jammu & Kashmir, official sources said.

Major Rane (30) was the only son of his parents.

He lived with his wife Kanika, their three-year-old son and parents Prakash Rane and Jyoti, a retired assistant headmistress of Utkarsh Mandir High School, at Malad in Mumbai.

The Ranes have been living in Thane's Mira Road town for over 25 years. Despite being the only son, he had opted for the Army around six years ago and was currently posted with the 36 Rashtriya Rifles.

His wife and minor son are away at their native place in the Konkan region.

The funeral will be finalised after Major Rane's body was brought here.

Maharashtra Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) President and legislator Kapil Patil condoled the death of Major Rane.

    Confrontation attitude always leads to animosity and loss.The top political leaders are well protected. That is why they choose the confrontation attitude with our neighbours for their own survival and unfortunately the death at the border is increased in a alarming way last few years.

    I feel very sad for his young wife and 3 years old son of Major Rane. . RIP Major Rane.
