I worked with Parag during 1986-87 time frame. He was such a nice gentlemen and I am sure he cannot think of anything negative about any body. Parag was a Patriotic person and for that he paid dearly by his life. By this he attained martyrdom. May his soul rest in peace. The killers should be punished for what they did.
