Several copies of the Nishan-e-Haider medal, the country’s highest military award, have been stolen from the tomb of the Pakistan Army’s honored Captain, Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed.
According to details, robbers have taken three copies of Nishan-e-Haider along with two flags and their iron rods from the tomb.
Further, they have also reportedly stolen Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed’s motorcycle, a solar plate, two batteries, two Markhor badges, a UPS, a water filtration machine, a pedestal fan, and two batteries.
In this regard, Nauman Sher, the martyred soldier’s nephew, has filed a First Information Report (FIR), at Kalu Khan Police Station of district Swabi in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
It is relevant to remember that Captain Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed is KP’s only recipient of the highest military award, which he received after embracing martyrdom during the Kargil war against India.
It is also worth remarking that the Nishan-e-Haider badge is handed over to the parents, widows, or close family members of the martyred soldiers and their graves usually have copies of the badge attached to the gravestones.
