“Today randomly we planned our trip to Delhi and after roaming Connaught Place, I told my wife let’s visit the National War Memorial. While we were there and when we reached the Kargil War Martyrs’ section, I clicked some pictures of PVC Capt #vikrambatra and SM Major #ajaysinghjasrotia inscribed in golden letters on the wall,” read the caption.

It further read, “ I told Shagun let’s find the MVC Capt #vijayantthapar memorial and while searching she suddenly found her brother’s (Captain KD Sambyal) memorial and she called my name in excitement and told me it’s bhaiya’s name. Shagun had no idea about this, not even her family knew, she was surprised and emotional at the same time. Even I couldn’t control myself. Capt KD hails from District Samba. Thanks to @indianarmy.adgpi @narendramodi for this.”
Reacting to the video, one Instagram user wrote, “Salute to Capt Sambyal and more power to your wife and her family. They have produced a true soldier who sacrificed his life for the nation!!”
