Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had some brotherly love for the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) as he inaugurated some strategically important connectivity projects in the border state of Arunachal Pradesh.    

"When I earlier used to see the short form 'BRO' on signboards, in my childhood, I used to think it's 'bro', which our younger generation uses for 'brother'," he said, speaking in Hindi, at the event in Siang district.

"After seeing their work now," he added, "I believe they are indeed brothers of our armed forces and the people. I can say that I was not wrong to read BRO as 'bro'."

The report of the autopsy — done by a board of doctors at Maulana Azad Medical College — will be submitted to the police at 2 pm, sources said.
