Who was Mukund Varadarajan ??

Major Mukund Varadarajan AC (12 April 1983 – 25 April 2014) was an officer in the Rajput Regiment of the Indian Army. In 2014, he was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award, for killing three terrorists in an encounter at the Shupiyan district of Jammu and Kashmir.

 

Death: On 25 April 2014, he led an anti-terrorist search operation to clear Qazipathri village of terrorists. During the operation, his team came under heavy fire. The officer responded swiftly, and killed three terrorists of the Hizbul Mujahideen who were responsible for killing election officials 24 hours earlier. However, he was gravely injured during the assault and was evacuated but he died due to the injuries.

For his brave actions during the operation, he was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award in 2014, for displaying valor beyond the call of duty. The citation by the Government of India during the declaration of the Ashok Chakra read:

During the operation, before attaining martyrdom, Major Mukund displayed exemplary leadership skills, raw courage, planning and swift action, which culminated in the elimination of the three top ranked Hizbul Mujaheddin terrorists.

Varadarajan is the fourth recipient of the Ashoka Chakra from the state of Tamil Nadu. He is survived by his parents R Varadarajan and Geetha, sisters Swetha and Nithya, wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese and their three year old daughter.

While leading a search operation in general area Gurdaji of Kupwara district of Jammu & Kashmir on August 24, Singh came under heavy fire from terrorists which hit one of his buddies. With disregard for his personal safety, Naik Neeraj Singh crawled and extricated his buddy. A terrorist threw grenades and brought heavy fire on Naik Neeraj but in a very daring act he inched closer to the terrorist and shot him dead. Simultaneously, he was attacked by another terrorist resulting in dropping of his rifle and was shot in the chest. He refused to be evacuated till he became unconscious and was later evacuated but he succumbed to his injuries
