New Delhi : The four Indians killed in the terror attack outside the Indian embassy in Kabul last week have been recommended for the Kirti Chakra, the country’s second highest military decoration for valour, courageous action or self-sacrifice away from the battlefield, an official said.
The Four Indians – defence attaché Brig. R.D. Mehta, press counsellor V. Venkat Rao and security personnel Roop Singh and Ajai Pathania – were among the 54 people killed in the July 7 attack, in which about 140 people were injured.
“The respective departments to which the deceased Indians belonged have recommended the Kirti Chakra for them. The defence ministry has accepted the recommendations,” the official said.
