Major Mohit Sharma's Undercover Operation
Major Mohit Sharma was a brave Indian Army officer who went undercover in Kashmir.
He pretended to be someone named Iftikhar Bhatt and joined a group of terrorists called Hizbul Mujahideen.
He lived with them, did chores like making tea and kahwa, and slowly gained their trust.
One day, he convinced them to take him on an operation.
When they didn't trust him, he took their gun and said, 'Shoot me if you don't trust me.'
Instead, he shot and killed both terrorists.
After that, he calmly finished his kahwa and called his team.
This happened in 2004, and years later, his brother told this amazing story.
Mohit was honored with the Ashok Chakra, a very big award, in 2010 for his bravery.
