Lt Cdr Mritunjay Kumar was deployed for OP RAKSHAK at J&K from 23 Mar 21 to 03 Oct 21. The officer displayed selfless individual valour and personal example during OP SHOKBABA FOREST (2021) which resulted in successful elimination of terrorists and saved life of a jawan.

OP SHOKBABA FOREST (2021) was a joint Search and Destroy Operation (SADO) launched by 14RR Bn (GARH RIF) from 23 Jul 21 to 27 Jul 21 based on intelligence shared by JK Police regarding presence of terrorists in Shok Baba Forest in Kashmir. At 2300H on 23 Jul 21, an outer cordon was established. Lt Cdr Mritunjay Kumar led the MARCOS team for SADO in the challenging dense mountainous forest terrain. At 0710 Hr on 24 Jul 21, two terrorists hiding near a boulder opened indiscriminate fire on the search team wherein RFN Pradeep Singh sustained multiple Gun Shot Wounds (GSW).

Whilst terrorists were pinned down by a heavy volume of retaliatory fire by the joint team including MARCOS, the officer noticed two other terrorists escaping uphill. Though the officer was in an extremely disadvantageous downhill position, he selflessly went beyond the call of his duty in discreetly tracking these terrorists and passing live position to the Control for readjustment of uphill stops. The valiant pursuit and precise tracking by the officer in an extremely treacherous terrain regardless of his tactically disadvantageous position and personal safety resulted in subsequent neutralisation of both terrorists by the readjusted uphill stops.
After this, Lt Cdr Mritunjay Kumar regrouped with joint team at initial contact site where engagement with terrorists was still in progress. He conducted hot extraction of REN Pradeep Singh downhill to the MARCOS evacuation team and administered IC Fluids and compression bandage en route. This timely hot extraction and Field Trauma Management was critical in successful recovery of RFN Pradeep Singh. Thereafter the officer once again regrouped with the team at initial contact site and tactically maneouvered himself into an uphill position in direct line of site of hiding terrorists. In ensuing firefight, terrorists lobbed grenades towards the officer however he maintained tactical cover and directed accurate gunfire from other positions onto the terrorists. This resulted in neutralisation of one terrorist by own troops. Whilst army troops approached the boulder to confirm status of neutralised terrorist, the second terrorist opened fire on them. Lt Cdr Mritunjay Kumar observed that readjusted position of second terrorist placed own approaching teams in a precarious position. With utter disregard to his personal safety, the officer broke cover and unleashed a heavy volume of aimed fire to subdue the terrorist whilst closing his position with a BP shield. This effectively stopped firing by the terrorist. Thereafter, own teams were repositioned and a thorough search conducted.

The body of neutralised terrorist with War like Stores was recovered and blood trial of second terrorist observed. The second terrorist was found dead in the general area Shok Baba forest two days later having succumbed to GSW. In keeping with the highest traditions of the Indian Navy, Lt Cdr Mritunjay Kumar went beyond the call of his duty during OP
SHOKBABA FOREST (2021) displaying rare courage, personal example and selfless daring for which he is awarded the Shaurya Chakra.
