New Delhi: Indian Army on Wednesday (August 24, 2022) said that their personnel saved the life of the Pakistani terrorist, who was injured while trying to flee in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, by donating blood. Brigadier Rajeev Nair, the commandant of the military hospital in Rajouri, said that they never thought of him as a terrorist and treated him like any other patient to save his life. 

“It is the greatness of Indian Army officials who gave their blood to him even though he had come to bleed them,” he said.

Thirty-two-year-old Tabarak Hussain, a resident of Sabzkot village of Kotli in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), was arrested in Naushera sector on Sunday after his accomplices abandoned him and fled back after being intercepted by the alert Indian troops.

“He (Tabarak Hussain) had bled out due to two bullet wounds in his thigh and shoulder and was critical. Members of our team gave him three bottles of blood, operated him, and put him in the ICU. He is stable now but will take a few weeks to improve,” Nair said.
