Many Indian
Army units were dispatched to Sri Lanka to maintain law and order under
the Indo-Sri Lanka Agreement. In November 1987, Major Parameswaran and
his column were trapped by a group of militants. Showing great presence
of mind, Major Parameswaran encircled them from the rear.
This was
followed by a hand-to-hand battle in which one of the militants shot
him in the chest. Impervious of his injury, he snatched the rifle from
the militant and shot him dead. Even though he was critically wounded,
he continued to give orders and inspired his command till he his last
breath.
