Kargil veteran's son becomes third generation officer

A proud descendant of a long lineage of brave soldiers, the 22-year-old is now a third-generation officer. He completed his training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun, graduating with the passing-out parade on Saturday, and donned the Olive Green, continuing his family's deeply rooted military legacy.

Born on April 18, 2002, in Ferozpur, Punjab, he grew up hearing stories of his father's heroism. From a young age, he knew that his destiny was in the military.

He completed his school from Bhavan Vidyalaya in Haryana's Panchkula, and then went on to join the National Defence Academy (NDA) in Pune.
