Vir Chakra (VrC)

Naib Subedar P C Varghese was commanding a platoon during the advance along the Jessore-Khulna road in the Eastern Sector. The advance was hindered by heavy fire of a medium machine gun. Unmindful of his safety, Naib Subedar Varghese crawled forward, engaged the MMG post by rifle and grenade fire and destroyed it. In a later action while lobbing a grenade on another post, he was seriously injured and died.

In these actions, Naib Subedar Varghese displayed gallantry, leadership and devotion to duty ofa high order.
