Biography/Wiki
Hailing from Telangana,
Colonel Santosh was known for being on the front in many operations against
terrorists in Kashmir. He had joined the unit at Galwan valley only recently. He was leading the team which went to remove the illegal tent put up by Chinese inside the Indian side of LAC. Unfortunately, he was trapped in a well - planned strategy of Chinese forces. He was killed by drowning into the lake water (by force or accidentally is not known yet).
Santosh was the only son
of his parents. It is quite natural that they are feeling deep pain. But, they
are still feeling proud as their son has sacrificed his life of the nation.
