yesterday evening, not just to watch the sunset, but to witness a rocket flare spectacle they can only thank Captain Suresh Choudhary of the merchant navy for.On the other hand, Choudhary’s magnanimity was not so intentional.He landed in jail on December 18 for carrying 12 rocket flares without proper documentation on the Rajdhani Express. Choudhary wanted to fire the flares to celebrate his son’s wedding, which is today. Luckily, he managed to get bail and the marriage is still on.
