    Dr. Sant Dhillon, a classmate of mine, is his nephew and would be able to give you lots of information about him.
    I know that he was from the 28th Course of NDA and was the son of Wing Commander Jagir Singh. He did his schooling at the Air Force Central School, Delhi before joing the NDA.

    Last I remember he came to meet in medical college, Amritsar and gave me a hundred rupees which was a lot then. This was dec. 71.He died a few days later stepping on a land mine in his jeep in the Khemkaran sector when returning from a Pakistan village as also a mountain gun of the Pakistani’s they had captured. We( the family) never got his body. Such were those days.
