Kolkata, May 7 (UNI) Slain techie Bitan Adhikary's widow Sohini on Wednesday wept uncontrollably, remembering her husband, and consoling herself in the lethal retribution against terrorists by Indian armed forces in Operation Sindoor deep inside Pakistan and PoK.

Sohini, along with her US-based techie husband Bitan Adhikari (30) and their three-year-old son were on vacation in J&K. She returned home carrying her husband's coffin.

"My dead husband's soul would now find some solace," said Sohini, adding the armed forces' retaliation is just and adequate.

Sohini burst into tears when she recalled the ghastly attack, but was blunt in her response to the treatment meted out to the Pakistan-based terrorists by the Indian armed forces exactly a fortnight after her husband along with 25 others were gunned down at Baisaran in Pahalgam.

Another survivor Sarbori Guha, whose 52-year-old husband Sameer Guha met the similar fate, described Indian armed forces' retaliation as expected. Sarbori witnessed how her husband fell to the terrorists' bullets on the basis of his religion.

She had narrated how her husband was shot dead along with a foreigner at the same time as the assailants told Sarbori to "inform Modi" ('Modi ko bolo').

In a determined voice, Sarbari said: "This was supposed to happen...Pakistan needs to be taught a lesson."
