Capt. Tushar Mahajan Loses His Life In J&K

Hello Warriors. Another Army officer has been killed in the ongoing encounter in Kashmir’s Pampore, taking the number of lives lost in the encounter so far to six.

Earlier, Army Captain Pawan Kumar, another soldier and two personnel of the Central Industrial security forces had been killed.

Captain Tushar Mahajan, 26, was hit by a volley of bullets while mop-up operations were being conducted at the third floor of the house the terrorists have been holed up in since yesterday.

The encounter has been on for more than 20 hours now. Three to five terrorists are still holed up in the complex.

It all started on Saturday, when the terrorists had attacked a Central Reserve Police Force convoy along the Srinagar-Jammu highway. They had killed two CRPF men and a gardener and then sneaked into a nearby building – Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute – in Pampore.Capt. Tushar Mahajan

Around 20 people including government employees who were trapped inside the main building of the complex were evacuated. Around 90 others were taken to safety from nearby buildings including a hostel.

The Army personnel, whose elite 15 Corps headquarters is located barely 10 km from the encounter site, were rushed in to assist the local police and the CRPF.

Capt Tushar Mahajan hailed from Udhampur and went to the National Defence Academy in Khadakwasala. He later volunteered to join the elite 10th Parachute Regiment of the Indian Army.

The sacrifice is what adorned the proud chests of the slain officers which they had earned after six gruelling months of probation and special skill training and they truly embodied its spirit. The badge signifies committing yourself in form and spirit to the cause of the nation. The final call came at Pampore and as it was ingrained in them, they did not think twice before going into a hail of bullets.

May their souls rest in peace.
