Captain Najam was captured along with three other colleagues by the terrorists. For many days he and the others were kept captive while the terrorists tried to use them to buy freedom for their captured comrades. When it seemed like such a deal could not be struck , the terrorists martyred Captain Najam Riaz and the three other soldiers. All four brave men, died fighting valiantly. Surrounded by the brutal enemy, they were unfazed at the prospect of death and killed 8 terrorists with their bare hands before they were gunned down and later beheaded on 11 May 2009.
After shahadat, Captain Najam Riaz Shaheed was awarded Tamgha-e-Basalat (TBt) by the Government of Pakistan.
Itโs been 10 years now & there hasnโt been a SINGLE night when nano didnโt wake up from her sleep & started crying. Not a single day when she didnโt miss you. Nana abbu doesnโt cry in front of anyone, but Iโve seen him sitting in your room & crying when noones around

She didnโt cry at your janaza though. She kept saying โuss ne jaanay se pehle kaha tha ke ammi main shaheed ho jaaun ga, aap ne rona nahi hayโ.
Itโs been 10 years and I remember each & every second of those days. Those 23 days when you were in Talibansโ custody. And the day When we got the news that you embraced shahadat.
