About Captain Vikram Batra
Captain Vikram Batra was an Indian Army Officer who was posthumously awarded with the Param Vir Chakra because of his fearlessness during the Kargil War of 1999. But he was martyred while fighting with Pakistani troops around Area Ledge, Point 4875, in the Kargil district.
Vishal Batra, twin brother of Captain Vikram Batra, shared in an interview for Mojo Story that fiancé of his brother Dimple Cheema never married after Captain Vikram’s martyrdom.
