Pakistan Army Involvement in Kargil: Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir and other senior officials paid tribute to Captain Karna Sher Khan, who was killed in the Kargil war on Saturday (July 6, 2025), describing him as a true patriot and brave soldier on the 26th death anniversary. In Pakistan, he is considered a symbol of valor and sacrifice. However, during the Kargil War, when India recovered his body in Tiger Hill (Dras Sector), Pakistan not only refused to accept his identity, but also believed that there were no soldiers of his ‘regular army’.

India revealed in 1999

On 15 July 1999, the press release issued by the Indian Embassy, ​​Washington, stated that Pakistan had completely rejected the participation of its army in the Kargil war. When India identified him on the basis of the documents found from Sher Khan’s body and contacted Pakistan, Pakistani officials first refused to accept it.

India offered to return the dead body, but Pakistan rejected

According to a TOI report, India contacted Pakistan on 12 July 1999 with the body of Pakistani soldier Captain Karilee Sher Khan, who was killed during the Kargil war. India had clearly stated that he wants to hand over this body to the Pakistan Army, but Pakistan refused it.

The press release issued by the Indian Embassy in Washington said, “It is clear that Pakistan is clear about the identity of these bodies, but it does not want to accept it as it will reveal his army involvement in Kargil.” The Indian Embassy further said, “By not accepting this truth, Pakistan is not only doing injustice to the families of its soldiers, but is also insulting the military traditions of the whole world.”

Pakistan did not accept the identity of soldiers

After refusing to contact India over the bodies of Pakistani soldiers killed during the Kargil War, Pakistan sought help from the international body Red Cross (ICRC). On 13 July 1999, the ICRC approached the Government of India and told that the Government of Pakistan wants India to hand over the bodies of the two officers to whom they have heard.

What did the Indian Embassy say?

The Indian Embassy said that Pakistan did not give information about the names and identity of the two officers killed in the request sent to ICRC, while they knew who they were. According to the embassy, ​​”Pakistan did not deliberately listen to the identity of the dead bodies because if they had accepted the identity of these officers, it would have been proved that the Pakistan Army was involved in Kargil.”

Every regiment of the Indian Army has a distinct identity, but when it comes to 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles (13 Jak RIF), a name first comes out- Captain Vikram Batra. In the Kargil war, this jambaz, who roared like “Yeh Dil Maange More”, sacrificed his life for the country and gave the 13 Jak RIF the identity that was worth calling ‘Brewst of the Brave’.

13 Jak RIF is a battalion of the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles Regiment of the Indian Army. Its history is associated with the era of princely states, when Maharaja Gulab Singh laid its foundation in Jammu in 1820. It was then known as Jammu and Kashmir State Force. After independence, when Jammu and Kashmir became a part of India, this regiment was included in the Indian Army.

Shown real power in Kargil war

The Kargil War of 1999 was no less than a test for 13 Jak RIF. The battalion dusted the enemies in inaccessible areas like Dras and Mushkoh Valley. During these missions, Captain Vikram Batra attacked the bunkers and withdrew many peaks from the enemies. For this indomitable courage, he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra.

Not only this, 13 Jak RIF received the title of ‘DRAS’ and ‘Mushkoh’ Battle Honor, ‘Kargil’ theater Honor, and ‘Bravest of the Brave’ for the might done in Kargil. This battalion was awarded 2 Param Vir Chakra, 8 Vir Chakra, 16 Army Medal and many other honors.

Vikram Batra: A name that became immortal

Martyr Captain Vikram Batra was not just a soldier, he is an inspiration for today’s younger generation. He has proved that if there is patriotism in the heart, whatever the enemy is, victory is certain. 13 Jak RIF and Vikram Batra reminds us that the borders of India are not only with the blood of the soldiers, but their courage. Whenever there will be a crisis on the country, Ranbankure like 13 Jak RIF will stand ahead to keep the tricolor elevated by putting his life.
