ASHOK CHAKRA AWARDEE – 2ND LIEUTENANT PUNEET NATH DATT
 
Soldiers of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles along with other para-military forces, acting on specific intelligence input about the presence of foreign jihadi terrorists, surrounded the building. The enemy was at a vantage point safely behind their well entrenched barricade. However the terrorists failed to realize that ferociousness and intensity of courage in a young officer, 2nd Lieutenant Puneet Nath Datt can smash any barrier.
