Rifleman Man Bahadur Pun was the commander of a rocket launcher team in a company of Gorkha Rifles during the attack on a strongly fortified enemy post in the Eastern Sector. Rifleman Man Bahadur Pun was on the left flank of the assaulting troops. The attaching troops came under intense artillery and mortar fire and their advance was held up.

Rifleman Man Bahadur Pun, with utter disregard for his safety, crawled up to one of the bunkers and silenced it with his rocket launcher. He received a burst in his leg, but unmindful of his injuries he crawled to another place and fired the rocket launcher a second time to silence another post. He received another burst as a result of which he died. 

In this action, Rifleman Man Bahadur Pun displayed gallantry of a high order.
