Khursheed Ahmad, a head constable in CRPF, can barely move. He was in the the ICU for the past 2 months and is still admitted in the emergency ward of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. He was hit with 8 bullets in a militant attack in Pampore in Kashmir. On 25 June 2016 Ahmad and other CRPF jawans were returning after conducting shooting practices in Lethpura when 4 militants suddenly opened fire on them. Eight CRPF jawans died and 22 got injured in this militant attack.

41-year-old Ahmad has been serving the nation for the past 23 years, but now his future seems bleak. The bullets might have crippled him, but haven’t shattered his courage.
