A Friend and a Brother Writes about The Martyr :- Sirs ... When I came to know the name ... It brought back memories of Apr 2003 ... 92 BH Srinagar... Myself and Sankalp, lying next to each other in ICU ... Both were recently operated .. He got gun shot wounds ... I was badly injured in grenade and IED blast .... His injuries were peculiar ... Got a burst of AK on his stomach ....Some of which hit the magazine he was carrying and live rounds were extracted from his belly .... His parents came over and would always talk to both of us ... Even in ICU he was full of fun and his never ending jokes caused a lot of pain as both of us had over 40 stitches on the stomach.......he was a soldier in the truest sense .... He is Lt Col Sankalp Kumar, martyred in the line of duty today. He was already a Battle Causality. Not recommended to serve in Field Area. But he volunteered to serve in Kashmir fr the love of his paltan. 24 PUNJAB. THATS THE CHARACTER OF INDIAN ARMY. God bless his soul
