A Proud Indian Paratrooper Gives his Life for Congo​

Naik Husan Lal attained martyrdom on 23 May 2010, while on overseas duty in Congo. He was part of the Indian Peacekeeping Battalion, which he joined in Feb 10. Born in 1981, in a well to do joint family, Husan did his schooling from Karnal (Haryana),after which he chose to join the Army. Husan volunteered for Special Forces (SF) immediately on joining the Army and was posted to J&K. A linguist by nature, he knew Urdu and Pashto languages and topped all Army courses of instruction. Being an all rounder, he was selected for the Pentathlon event at the World Military Games, held in 2007. Eventually, destiny brought him to Congo, with a team of Para SF, as part of an Infantry Battalion Group.

On that fateful day,he was on a routine ‘Area domination vehicle mounted patrol’, on a road which was surrounded by heavily wooded hills.The patrol observed a FARDC (Congolese Army) foot patrol approaching from the opposite direction. Suddenly, all hell broke loose when the foot patrol came under ambush laid by rebel groups. Naik Husan Lal, who was in the lead vehicle, instinctively jumped out to assess the situation. Caught in the thick fire fight and at the same time exercising utmost caution, not to injure civilians by his own fire, he went ahead to help the Congolese patrol. A stray bullet fired by the rebels hit him in the lower back. While being airlifted to the hospital at Goma after first aid, he succumbed to his injuries. Paradoxically, there were no casualties to the Congolese patrol, due to Husan’s speedy reaction.

A grenade was thrown onto the rooftop by an insurgent on the street below. The grenade hit Monsoor in the chest and fell onto the floor. Immediately, Monsoor yelled "Grenade!" and jumped onto the grenade, covering it with his body. The grenade exploded seconds later and Monsoor's body absorbed most of the force of the blast. Monsoor was severely wounded and although evacuated immediately, he died 30 minutes later. Two other SEALs next to him at the time were injured by the explosion but survived.
