This Gorkha soldier, single handedly, without
caring for his own safety, held off 40 goons with his knife killing three and injuring eight, who tried to rape a woman in a
train. All he got was a memento awarded by his own Commanding Officer. I am
sure if his case for a Gallantry Award was taken up, he could very well have
got a Peacetime Gallantry Award like Kirti Chakra or Shuaraya Chakra. What a pity?
