Saurabh Kalia and his five men of the 4 Jat regiment were taken captive by Pakistani troops in the icy hills of Kargil and barbarically tortured for over 22 days.

NEW DELHI: Thirteen years after the mutilated body of Captain Saurabh Kalia of the 4 Jat Regiment was handed over to Indian authorities, his father Dr NK Kalia has approached the United Nation Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for justice as the family wants the ghastly act to be declared a war crime.

The petition has been filed by Dr NK Kalia, Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrasekhar and Flags of Honour Foundation.

The petitioners urged the UNHRC to ensure a full and independent investigation is opened immediately, justice is achieved and also to conduct enquires into this matter and takes appropriate steps to urge the Government of Pakistan to conduct an enquiry into the matter and ascertain those responsible for the torture and death of Captain Kalia.

Saurabh Kalia and his five men of the 4 Jat regiment were taken captive by Pakistani troops in the icy hills of Kargil and barbarically tortured for over 22 days.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, an active voice in urging the government to take up the issue with the UN Human Rights Council, said: "I am supporting this petition to UNHRC filed by Flags of Honour Foundation and Dr. N.K. Kalia to seek justice for the family of Capt Saurabh Kalia who was tortured and shot dead performing his duty - a clear case of war crime and violations of Geneva conventions.

This is about principles of natural justice and laws being violated against Indians anywhere in the world and about men and women in uniform who serve the nation and expect the nation to back them and take care of their families."

Saurabh's parents NK Kalia and Vijaya have been raising their voice against human rights violations and pleading with the government to take up the issue of war crimes at the international level.

Dr Kalia who has been running from pillar to post to fight for justice for his son, said: "This matter is about dignity and honour of Capt Saurabh Kalia and five soldiers and a national issue where country's prestige was slighted due to such heinous crimes which go unchallenged."

Saurabh Kalia of 4 Jat Regiment, who was the first army officer to report incursion by the Pakistani army on Indian soil, had along with five soldiers - Sepoys Arjun Ram, Bhanwar Lal Bagaria, Bhika Ram, Moola Ram and Naresh Singh - went for a routine patrol of the Bajrang Post in the Kaksar sector when they were taken captive by the Pakistani troops on May 15, 1999.

Imran sab, Do you find any difference between collateral casualties of region stricken with insurgency with blatant torture and murder of prisoner of war?
because your country does face casualties of insurgency, are you willing to blame it completely on government and thus proclaim your soldiers and officers as fair game for the players who are out for their blood on your western front??

I am man enough to say, our country and its system is not perfect. If there is any violation of code of conduct by the army, I would vehemently protest it and would like to see that justice is served. You on the other hand seem almost defending such cowardice if not encouraging it.

and hence the logic, pakistan doesn't need to adhere to geneva conventions, and people of pakistan would willfully defend the actions of humiliation, multilation, and murder of an officer of the Indian army. What else can be expected!

Stop being a hypocrite. When US kills civilians then you say it is abuse of human rights, but not now.

And to Indians: You are being hypocrites too. India has no right to claim 'human rights abuses'. Your army is no better.

Yea difference being he was not a civilian. He was a soldier and was captured. :coffee:

the point is misdoings need to be corrected on every sides, it is most unfortunate when people defend and exonorate such actions
