A cook in the Army, he was in the mess at the Pathankot Air Base getting breakfast ready when the militants attacked. He chased down and caught one of the intruders.

2. Tukaram Ombale
During the 26/11 attack, the Maharashtra Police Sub-inspector received information about terrorists being on the move towards Marine Drive. He positioned barricades to block the car's passage and managed to stop the vehicle. As soon as the car came to a stop, the terrorists opened fire. Ombale, without fearing for his own life, managed to snatch the weapon from one of the terrorists, Ajmal Kasab, despite being hit by a bullet. He overpowered Kasab and was instrumental in capturing him alive. Ombale would later die of his injuries.

She was out fishing with her grandmother when the latter suffered cramps, followed by a stroke and fell unconscious. Sensing trouble, Mhonbeni ran back 4-5 km through the thick forests all alone to the village to call for help. She said her love for her grandmother gave her the courage to travel all the distance alone as saving her was her only concern that acted as a driving force.
