Handwara: The story of Fallen soldiers
Sunday 3rd May When the armed forces across the nation was going to salute the COVID Warriors, Country was awaken with the News of missing of the Commanding Oficer, Major and 3 other in Handwara area of the Kupwara district of Kashmir followed by the confirmation of their martyrdom
The Five fallen soldiers include Col Ashutosh Sharma, the 44-year-old commanding officer of the21 Rashtriya Rifles battalion, company commander Major Anuj Sood, 30, Naik Rajesh Kumar, 29, Lance Naik Dinesh Singh, 24, and J&K Police Sub Inspector Sageer Pathan alias Qazi, 41.
The news of their getting trapped in a House and being non contactable infact came at Saturday i.e 2nd May evening at around 6.30Pm.
The way the casualty of the five SF persons happened raised the suspicion Counter terrorism experts that there is High probability that these soldiers were decoyed by the Terrorists.
The experts are of the opinion that LeT terrorists used civilians as bait and lured the CO of the 21RR with an offer to surrender and release of the civilians.
Immediately after being trapped by the security Forces in a house, the cry for help and to save came from the encounter site. When appealed by the forces to release the inhabitants of the house the terrorists immediately offered to surrender and lured the CO to come inside for the rescue of the Kidnapped.
The chronology of Commanding Officer and others lost contact immediately after entry to the house raised suspicion that there were more no. of terrorists inside the house. And the cry for help was in fact bait to trap the SFs. Not even a single civilian was kept hostage for long and no causality.
The Saturday encounter was in succession to the combing operation launched by the 21RR, SoG and CRPF for the last 5 days in the Handwara forests after getting specific inputs about the intrusion of terrorists from Kupwara sector to the Handwara Forest area.
Continuing with the tradition of Indian Army leading from the Front, Col Ashutosh Sharma was himself leading the operation. It got messed up when terrorist group suspected to be of 5 to 6 members, mingled with the local villagers who had been to the forest Area to collect Mushroom and local herb Gucchi.
On 1st May the terrorists likely to be supported by these locals breached the SF fortification from Yachal Rajwal Forests and again intercepted by 21RR in Handwara on 2nd May. The encounter started at around 4.PM.
Immediately after the intrusion in the House they fell prey to the inevitable and lost connect with the troops stranded outside.
The team stranded outside was regularly calling on the phone of the CO Ashustosh and Major Anuj but the calls remains unanswered.
It is pertinent to mention that it is not the only incident where officer of the Rank of Commanding Officer made supreme Sacrifice. The other incidents of the CO fallen in the counter insurgency ops in Valley.
IN July 2018 commanding Officer of the 41RR Col Santosh laid his life in Kupwara sector and achieved Martyrdom
Same way in 2015, Col M N Roy also got Martyred in an encounter in south Kashmir Tral Area in an operation to eliminate ToP HM commander Aaabid Khan.
But My Question Is Whom We are Saving in Kashmir ?
Those who sided the terrorists, who Threw stones to gave safe passage to Islamic Mujahids OR
Those who finally Answered ‘Assalamualaikum’ ! from the Phone of the COL Ashutosh Sharma when his regiment called .
