Colonel Ashutosh Sharma on Saturday, led his team into a house where terrorists held local residents hostage. He was leading a team of four other bravehearts, including Major Anuj Sood, Naik Rajesh Kumar, and Lance Naik Dinesh Singh. Col. Sharma and his men were successful in accomplishing their mission, but in the heavy exchange of fire which followed, they were martyred.
Two terrorists, including a Laskar-e-Tayyaba commander (LeT), Haider, was among those who were neutralised in the operation.
Experts point out that Pakistan has been trying to push terrorists through North Kashmir. Pakistan is also said to be desperately attempting to radicalise local Kashmiri youth to become the face of terrorism.
Three CRPF jawans were also killed in an encounter with terrorists on Monday once again in the Handwara area, when terrorists ambushed a CRPF convoy. Personnel of the CRPF paid their last respects to the fallen soldiers on Tuesday.
