On the occasion, Sharma said the BSF had a history of bravery and this act has once again proved that those guarding the border were always ready to sacrifice their lives when it came to the country's security.
Sushil, who was martyred during heavy firing from across the border last night, gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani soldiers from his post. He sustained bullet injuries on the chest in the process. "He was immediately evacuated to GMCH, Jammu where the doctors declared him brought dead at 0130 hours," an officer said.
