Flight Lieutenant Siddharth Yadav made a promise to his fiancée that he would come to take her home. He did return—wrapped in the Indian tricolour. At just 28, Siddharth was the only son of his family, recently engaged, and set to marry in November. On April 2nd, 2025, during a routine training sortie in a Jaguar fighter jet, he laid down his life to save hundreds. Despite technical failures, he stayed with the aircraft to divert it away from a densely populated area, ultimately sacrificing himself. His co-pilot survived with injuries, thanks to Siddharth’s bravery.
