Arun Khetarpal is a national hero…the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra and you and I have become very close friends. But on that fateful day, at the battle of Bade Pind, we were soldiers unknown to each other, fighting for the safety and honor of our respective countries. I regret to have to tell you that your son died at my hands. Arun’s courage on the battlefield was exemplary and he moved his tank with fearless courage and daring, totally unconcerned about his own safety. Tank casualties on both sides were very heavy, till finally it was just the two of us who faced each other. We both fired simultaneously…it was destined that I was to live and that he had to die.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Thirty years after the 1971 Indo-Pak War: Pak Brigadier confesses to Arun Khetarpal’s father.
