Nikita Kaul

Nikita Kaul, wife of Pulwama martyr Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal, was inducted into the Indian Army on May 29, after over two years of her husband's death. The Ministry of Defence PRO Udhampur Twitter handle shared the news by posting a video showing Lt Gen YK Joshi pipping the stars on Nikita's shoulders. Major Dhoundiyal was killed in the 2019 Pulwama attack and was conferred the Shaurya Chakra posthumously.
