In May 1999, Havaldar Lalak Jan was serving in Company Headquarters, while the enemy was preparing for a major offensive. He volunteered to fight on the frontline.

Jan bravely defended his post with a handful of men. On July 07, the enemy constantly engaged his post for the entire day and despite being severely injured, he refused to be evacuated and successfully repulsed the attack, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

 Later, Havaldar Jan succumbed to injuries and embraced martyrdom while defending the country.
