Sepoy Pawan Kumar, a 26-year-old Army Jawan, sacrificed his life in a clash with terrorists in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. The security forces managed to eliminate two terrorists during the operation, but one soldier was also wounded.
The terrorists were taking refuge in a mosque located in Padgampora village in Awantipora. The Army launched the operation based on information shared by the CRPF and J&K Police, and these terrorists were responsible for killing a bank employee named Sanjay Sharma and two migrant laborers in Pulwama.
Sepoy Pawan Kumar hailed from Shimla and was part of the mission to eliminate the terrorists who had killed Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Kumar. Sadly, he was shot during the operation and sustained severe injuries. Despite his valiant efforts to overpower one of the militants, he later passed away in the hospital.
Sepoy Pawan Kumar was a member of the 55 Rashtriya Rifles, although he was initially recruited in 16 Grenadiers. The Army paid tribute to the brave soldier and expressed its solidarity with his grieving family.
