Naik Nirbhay Singh Sisodiya, AC (1 May 1958 – 6 June 1984) was an Indian military Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) with the 15th Battalion of the Kumaon Regiment.[1] For his bravery, he was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra, the highest peacetime military decoration in India on 26 January 1985.
During the Operation Blue Star on 6 June 1984, he provided cover for his company commander from heavy firing by the Sikh militants using medium machine guns. Sensing danger to his company from a light machine gun in a pot hole, Singh charged towards the gun. Although he suffered bullet shots to his legs, he crawled to reach the pot hole and lobbed a grenade into the basement, but exposed himself to heavy firing and succumbed to his injuries.[2]
