Kumar left this world at the age of 23 fighting to protect his motherland, leaving his family, friends and the nation in tears.


He belonged to the Jat community and was a graduate of Jawaharlal Nehru University.


The Army Captain died in the fierce gunfight with a group of terrorists holed up inside a government building on the outskirts of Srinagar.


Kumar belonged to the elite Para commando units and hailed from Haryana's Jind.


He sustained grievous injuries in militant firing as security forces tried to make their way into the building in the wee hours on Sunday, as per an Army official, media reports said.


Kumar succumbed to injuries later.


As per images on his public Facebook profile, it seems that Pawan liked Bullet motorcycles and jeeps, guns and cool logos.

Incidentally he was born on Army day on January 15, 1993.
