During the harrowing 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, hundreds were killed, hundreds were rescued and thousands were left injured. During the three day siege, the country’s entire security force was engaged in counter-terrorism.

During the 59 hour operation that ensued at the Taj Palace in Mumbai, Ex-Marine Commando Force (MARCOS) personnel, Praveen Kumar Teotia was caught between four terrorists in a room and fought bravely to come out alive of those chambers besides helping in the rescue of 150 people.

 Teotia is one of those few valiant soldiers who decided to fight until his last breath to keep his country safe. A recipient of Indian military honour of Shaurya Chakra which is awarded for valour, courage and self-sacrifice, Teotia follows the motto: ‘Life is all about making efforts and moving on. Excuse and effort cannot run parallelly.’
