The Doda Sector was a sector of Indian-controlled Kashmir which came under attack by the Pakistan Army in June 2014 amid the Kashmir conflict. The Pakistanis attacked an Indian Army battalion's winter camp in the Kashmir valley, which was defended by Lieutenant Daniyal Khan. The Indians endured Pakistani artillery fire for 72 hours and spent that time without eating or sleeping, instead trading fire with the Pakistanis. By the fourth day of the battle, the Indian Army's radios had been destroyed, and the Indian soldiers were on the verge of breaking. Khan volunteered to make a four-hour journey to contact the rest of the Indian Army and bring reinforcements, but he was knocked down a mountainside by an artillery shell explosion and was left unconscious. By the time that Khan's wounded body was discovered far away from his bunker, the rest of his bunker mates had been killed, and Khan was mistaken for a deserter and was dishonorably discharged.
