Sushil, who was martyred during heavy firing from across the border last night, gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani soldiers from his post.
He sustained bullet injuries on the chest in the process.
“He was immediately evacuated to GMCH, Jammu where the doctors declared him brought dead at 0130 hours,” an officer said.
Two more BSF personnel — ASI RD Puri and Constable Ayyappa Babu — sustained minor injuries. They were currently admitted in a hospital, he added.
Jammu and Kashmir Minister of Industries and Commerce Chandra Prasad Ganga also paid tributes to the martyr.
The cremation of the jawan will be held at his native Pihowa village in Kurukshetra district in Haryana on Tuesday at 10 am.
