Tribute To Sepoy Murali Naik 🇮🇳 | 851 Light Regiment | Balidan Diwas – 9 May 2025 #shorts

Sepoy Mudavath Murali Naik, a brave soldier of the Indian Army, made the supreme sacrifice on 9 May 2025 during cross-border shelling in Jammu and Kashmir amid Operation Sindoor. Hailing from Kalli Thanda village in Andhra Pradesh, Murali Naik came from a humble family. His father worked as a construction labourer while his mother worked as a domestic helper. He was the only son of his parents and carried the dreams of his entire family. Driven by patriotism and responsibility, he joined the Indian Army as an Agniveer in December 2022 and was later posted with the 851 Light Regiment under Northern Command. In the early hours of 9 May 2025, Pakistani forces carried out heavy artillery and mortar shelling in the Uri sector near the Line of Control during heightened tensions of Operation Sindoor. While retaliating against enemy fire and defending the nation, Sepoy Murali Naik sustained critical injuries during the shelling. Despite evacuation efforts, he succumbed to his injuries while serving the country with courage and dedication. On 11 May 2025, his mortal remains wrapped in the tricolour reached his native village, where thousands gathered to bid farewell to their brave son. He was cremated with full military and state honours. India salutes the courage and sacrifice of Sepoy Murali Naik.
