Capt Fasih Babar with his father Brig (R) Babar amin and only little brother Fahad Babar !!
On 21st June 2012,at 0400 hrs,Capt. Fasih serving as G-3 received orders from Brigade Commander to lead a Quick Reaction Force that was to act as reinforcement in case the infantry unit required any help during the Search and Cordon Operation being executed at Laddah,South Wazirstan Agency. At 1000 hrs Capt.... Fasih spotted some movement near a compound occupied by terrorists ex Tahrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.He took 4 RPGs and fired them accurately one by one on the compound killing number of the hidden terrorists.He was appreciated by the Commander for his outstanding precision and accuracy of engaging the target. During this activity,he came to know of a section that was under immense fire from all sides and was badly cornered by the terrorists around 80 in number. He volunteered himself,as he always did in the past, to lead the Quick Reaction Force and went with just 4 soldiers to rescue the trapped party.They were constantly being engaged by enemy fire.Capt. Fasih,using the presence of mind and wits successfully rescued the soldiers and brought them to a safer place. He was told by one of them that their LMGs and ammunition was left there. Knowing the importance of the trapped ammunition which could have been used by the terrorists,Capt. Fasih went again despite being told by the Commander to give someone else the chance. He rescued the guns and ammunition under heavy fire from the terrorists stronghold. Pinned down around 25 of them and was bravely exchanging fire when a bullet hit his right shoulder. When enquired by the Commander about his condition,he said that he was perfectly fine.Continued engaging the terrorists and very boldly fought them.He was busy in dropping effective fire on them when another bullet hit him,this time his lower abdomen leading to profused bleeding resulting in the shahadat of this brave Son of Soil.
The shahadat of Capt. Fasih Babar is a great loss to Pakistan Army and to the motherland.At just 29,Capt. Fasih did what people can't do in a hundred years.He joined the elite group of people who never DIE!The nation SALUTES you Sir and you are definitely the PRIDE OF PAKISTAN!
