description: "Squadron leader Ajay Ahuja VrC was a fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force who was killed in action during the Kargil War between India and Pakistan in 1999. His MiG-21 was hit by a Pakistani shoulder-fired FIM-92 Stinger near the town of Kargil in the Indian territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Ahuja ejected from the aircraft and parachuted on to the ground. Upon landing, he was captured and tortured by the Pakistani Army and later killed by 2 gunshot wounds. A post-mortem report conducted on Ahuja's body after it was recovered and returned to India confirmed that he had a fractured knee alongside two fatal bullet wounds to his head and chest."
