    He was a tanker. His parents were in JAG, his brother later commanded 16th Cavalry.
    Pakistani tank shot at his tank, he was observing the surroundings. Though the shot missed the tank but it went by grazing his neck and he was martyred at the spot. His body was recovered later by Colonel Robindra (Wendy) Dewan.
