Manpreet has a sister.
Sandeep said that when they were young, they used to see their father saluting officers senior to him. Manpreet had thought since then that he would one day become an officer in the army. Then when Papa will stand with him, the same officers will salute him, whom he used to salute then.
Sister said- While preparing for the practical, I had written that I would join the army.
