Answers
Answer:
Naib Subedar Sanjay Kumar is an Indian Army soldier and recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military award. He was born in a small village in Bilaspur District of Himachal Pradesh. During Kargil War of 1999, he was with 13th Battalion, Jammu & Kashmir Rifles, tasked to capturing Area Flat Top. He was the leading scout man. The area was held by Pakistani troops. Having scaled the cliff, the team was pinned down by machine gun fire from an enemy bunker, about 150 meters away. Kumar, realizing the gravity of the situation, crawled alone up the ledge and charged towards the enemy bunker through a hail of automatic fire. In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, he killed three of the intruders and was himself seriously injured. He then picked up an enemy machine gun and crept towards the second enemy bunker. The enemy soldiers, taken completely by surprise, were killed by him as they fled their post. Inspired by his act the rest of the platoon charged, assaulted the feature and captured Area Flat Top. Kumar's story along with others who were part of the same conflict was portrayed in the film LOC Kargil, in which his character was played by Sunil Shetty.
