Dharakote: On Kargil Diwas, a 25-year-old BSF Jawan was killed when the motorcycle he was riding collided head-on with a bus at Baradabili, under Dharakote police limits in Odisha's Ganjam district.

Jitendra Kumar Padhi, a resident of Kusaraba village in the district, has been identified as the deceased Jawan.  The accident happened on Wednesday, just minutes after he reportedly posted a video on Instagram of himself riding a motorcycle and lip-syncing to the Bollywood song 'Channa Mereya' on his way to his village from Soroda, according to sources.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead.

Padhi had been stationed in Punjab for the previous two years and had returned to his village on leave on July 6.

While the bus driver was being questioned by police, Jawan's body was taken to Aska hospital for a postmortem.

Jitendra's final rites will be performed in his village on Thursday.
