Major Ajay Singh Jasrotia, SM (31 March 1972 - 15 June 1999) was an Indian military officer with the 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles (13 JAK RIF) who laid down his life during Kargil War to save the lives of his six comrades.
He was deployed in Sopore in Baramulla district of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir when the Kargil War broke out. 13 JAK RIF under the command of Lt Gen then Col Yogesh Kumar Joshi was moved to Dras sector as a reserve force.
On 15 June 1999, the base camp came under heavy artillery shelling and six of his soldiers were injured. Amidst heavy artillery shelling which continued unabated, he evacuated the wounded to safety by carrying them on his back. While rescuing the last soldier he was fatally wounded by shrapnel. All of the six lived to tell the tale. He was posthumously awarded the Sena Medal for his courage and sacrifice
Knowing that he won't survive he refused to be evacuated before his wounded men. His death played a role in motivating his juniors Captain then Lieutenant Vikram Batra PVC and Colonel then Lieutenant Sanjeev Singh Jamwal VrC to capture Point 5140 without any casualty.Coincidentally Batra was killed in a similar way as Jasrotia during the capture of Point 4875 when he exposed himself to enemy fire while rescuing an injured soldier.
