At 0400 hours, Rifleman Rakesh sensing a gap in the ambush, reorganized his location along with his buddy Rifleman Robinson. While shifting to bridge the gap, they drew heavy fire from the tail end of the ambush. Rifleman Rakesh spotted two insurgents fleeing the ambush in cover of dense foliage. He immediately pursued through woods under covering fire of his buddy and closed in to cut off escape route.

Rifleman Rakesh shot dead one fleeing insurgent but being out of cover he drew heavy fire from the second insurgent. Displaying nerve of steel and quick thinking, he crawled to take cover of a fallen tree. Showcasing superlative combat shooting he shot dead the second insurgent also.

For his exceptional tactical acumen, selflessness, inspiring leadership and courage beyond compare while eliminating two dreaded insurgent, Rifleman Rakesh Sharma is recommended for the award of “SHAURYA CHAKRA”.
