On the fateful day of 20th August 2011, during an operation in the troubled region of Jammu and Kashmir, Navdeep's platoon came under heavy fire from a group of heavily armed terrorists. Despite being severely wounded, Navdeep refused evacuation and continued to lead his men in fierce combat. He single - handedly neutralized several terrorists, rescued his injured comrades, and ensured the safe withdrawal of his platoon.
However, during the evacuation process, Navdeep Singh kept firing till death. His sacrifice and bravery inspired his fellow soldiers and brought honor to the Indian Army.
