The first operation took place in Khurmur, Handwara on August 23. The operation was successful and they killed three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists. Soon, he volunteered for a second operation in Rafiabad, Kashmir. The two day operation took place on 26th and 27th August where he and his team eliminated three more terrorists. In the same operation, one terrorist was captured alive by the brave soldiers.

Lance Naik, who had already shown immense courage and dedication, was not the one to sit back and relax till he made sure that all the terrorists were eliminated. He once again volunteered to be part of the third operation in Hafruda forest near Kupwara. Unfortunately, this was his last battle.

The soldier lost his life during the operation. He managed to kill four more terrorists with the help of his team before he died.

Lance Naik had joined the elite Para Commando outfit of the Army in 2002, and he soon became one of the toughest soldiers of his unit.
