Hats off to Sailesh Gaur..!!! #Pathankot Braveheart Who Took 6 Bullets, Kept Fighting

PATHANKOT: 

Sailesh Gaur, a Garud Commander, who was one of the 11 Garud commandoes deployed during the Pathankot terror attack, didn’t give up despite taking 6 bullets on his body.This guy took 6 rounds of Ak47 and continued fighting the terrorists for another one more hour before evacuated in the Pathankot encounter.

He was bleeding profusely but his unceasing bravery didn’t let him abandon his post and he kept on fighting valiantly, thus ensuring that the terrorists didn’t encroach upon the technical area,While the terrorists were killed, he ended up in a hospital where he’s still fighting for his life.

He is currently in the ICU wing and recovering. Despite suffering gravely injuries you can still see him smiling in the picture just shows his Brave Personality and immense love for the Country. We all pray for your speedy recovery Sir !.

Within a few minutes of being air borne, the thermal imagers beamed down images of four suspects. They were first spotted in the dense jungle at the rear of the Mechanical Transport Area in the 2000-acre compound. Roughly 45 minutes later, the Mi-35 attack helicopter that was flying over the base with thermal sensors would beam back pictures to ground which showed the terrorist had moved just a few meters from their earlier location - to store huts of the Mechanical Transport base.

At about 3 am, 12 Garud Commandos were deployed. Three teams of "buddy" pairs were deployed outside the Mechanical Transport Wing to prevent the suspects from moving. Another three pairs of commandos were asked to launch the attack on the Pakistanis.

The terrorists then managed to sneak out of the Mechanical Transport area, but were stopped from reaching the technical area  - where they could have damaged the fighter jets and attack helicopters that are crucial for the Air Force.

The operation to eliminate them lasted nearly 80 hours and martyred seven military personnel and injured 20 - including Sailesh.

                         

We salute the bravery, courage and determination of Martyr Gurusevak Singh and Sailesh Gaur, who is in the hospital and many others whose valiant spirit kept the terrorists at bay and our country safe. We wish a speedy recovery to Commando Sailesh Gaur.

Seeing Gursevak down, Sailesh and Katal - the second team - moved in quickly using Israel-made rifles and machine guns to return the terrorists' fire. Then, Sailesh was hit - more than half a dozen bullets in his lower abdomen. Bleeding profusely, he didn't abandon his post and, with buddy Katal, kept the operation going for nearly an hour, while they waited for  back- up and replenishment.
