At 0345 hours, on observing suspicious movement, Major Shubhang displayed nerves of steel to allow suspects to reach as close as ten meters, before 

challenging them; on which terrorists opened indiscriminate heavy small arms and Under 

Barrel Grenade Launcher fire injuring the officer and two personnel of his team. 

Undeterred Major Shubhang exhibited unparalleled valour despite sustaining gunshot 

wound on left shoulder and neutralised a hard core terrorist in an intense extremely close 

quarter fire fight.

hide in a nearby house which resulted in his subsequent neutralisation. Thereafter, the 

injured officer evacuated the injured personnel from the operation site before being 

evacuated himself. For his conspicuous bravery and stout leadership in going beyond the call of duty in face of grave and imminent danger to his men, Major Shubhang is awarded “KIRTI CHAKRA”
