 Though Yadav was hit by 14 bullets he played a major role in its capture.The Param Vir Chakra was announced for Yadav posthumously, but it was soon discovered that he was recuperating in a hospital, and it was his namesake who had been slain in the mission.According to the Param Vir Chakra citation on the Indian Army's website, Yadav "displayed the most conspicuous courage, indomitable gallantry, grit and determination under extreme adverse circumstances".
