Col Bimal Kishandas Badgel - Vir Chakra || Guts and Glory Salute 71

Here’s a powerful tale of courage—on the battlefield and at home. Meet Vir Chakra recipient Col. Bimal Kishandas Badgel of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles, who, at 28, led 120 men to secure the Muddafarganj bridge in Comilla, withstanding enemy fire and a bullet wound. Side by side, his wife, Sarita Badgel, waited anxiously, deciphering his safety from his pen strokes in letters. And his mother? An intuition sharper than a khukri, she calculated every word to be sure her son was still okay.

Catch this heartfelt tribute and more on Guts & Glory - Salute 71 with RJ Abhishek every Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m., only on Red FM. Because behind every hero, there’s a family fighting their own battle.
