Speaking to , Sohanpal, the father of Amit Kori said, "We are sad but also very proud that he sacrificed his life for the country. The family worship him like God."

Kori's father said that he has become the honour of the family and his exceptional courage and supreme sacrifice will not be forgotten.

The attack on the CRPF convoy took place in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14, 2019.
A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the bus. The convoy had 78 buses in which around 2,500 personnel were travelling from Jammu to Srinagar.
