| Prez medal for Rukhsana | | |
New Delhi, Jan 8
President Pratibha Patil has approved the award of Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak for Rukhsana Kosser, the Rajouri girl who braved the bullets of LeT militants and killed one of them to save her family.
The other name approved by the President for the award is of Delhi's Narender Kaushik who will be given this medal posthumously for showing "conspicuous courage in saving life under circumstances of very great danger to the life of the rescuer," a Home Ministry spokesperson said here today.
22-year-old Rukhsana, along with her sibling, overpowered the LeT terrorist, snatched his rifle and fired at him, killing him on the spot and injuring another at Kalsian village, about 217 km from Jammu on the night of September 27 last year.
