On 19 Dec 1971 Brig Khetarpal was shaving when bell rang at the door. Mrs Khetarpal opened the door. It was postman with letter, which after reading, Mrs Kheterpal started crying and then fainted.
It was news of their son, 2nd Lt Arun Khetarpal, laid down his life for the nation.

Today he could have been celebrating 51 years of Vijay Diwas if he had chosen to abandon his FAMAGUSTA Tank.
But he was destined to change the curse of war on the last day by destroying 7 enemy tanks and winning the PARAM VIR CHAKRA at 21 years of age.
