Shri Sudip Sarkar guiding the team, observed armed infiltrators inching towards AIOS. On being engaged the terrorists retaliated with heavy volume of fire from an elevated position on the ridge with ample cover. Exposed with no cover, Shri Sudip sarkar, CT/GD continued his assault by manoeuvring to engage the terrorists in a fierce gun battle but was severely wounded due to bullet and grenade blast injuries. Despite his injuries Shri Sudip Sarkar lunged into a daring close Quarter Battle, killing one terrorist, but succumbed to his injuries sustained during hand to hand combat.
For displaying conspicuous gallantry, heroism, selflessness and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in the highest traditions of BSF Sri Sudip Sarkar, CT/GD is awarded Kirti Chakra (Posthumous).
