Sorry to correct you you have the unit WRONG though the message you are trying to convey is right intentioned .
It was 9 Garhwal Rifles - and It was my father Col Ashwani Kumar Mohan CO, 9 GarhRif and sadly you have
1) A lot of facts wrong
2) The spirit of your post is right and intentions right too
3)May be you should talk to my dear father who not only stood up to the civil authorities but his own !!
who had declared the reason of death of both kids as drowning in the first post mortem - it was my father who literally โhidโ the respected bodies in safe custody and refused the cremation till Rajiv Gandhi Institute of forensics was involved and a second post mortem conducted.
It was finally in the second post partem that โdeath by drowning was declared FALSE & death by asphyxiation declared!
All I will say is This is just one incident where my father not only remained true to his men his duty & Army there are many more !
The Then COAS Late Gen Joshi famously commented about my father -
โThis CO is made of steel & has the b***s to tell me โSir, Unit affairs are a commanding officerโs perrogative no one including yourself should interfere in the sameโ
My Father paid heavy price for this stance when he told the then Div Cmndr โ I did not bring these epaulettes from my home โ I will sacrifice them in an instant for my Subedar Major and other Jawans but not let any procedural harm come to them โ
& famously The SM went home an Honorary Captain ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
My father is just that.
A good man.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker โ preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
It was a Kalava wearing Hindu who saved hundreds of lives and probably averted a cataclysmic war even as he lay bleeding after being stabbed by a Muslim man
A Muslim and a Hindu both followed their faith in this story. Only one is useful to the world
