=== Indo-Pakistan War of 1971 ===
In the [[Indo-Pakistan War of 1971]], two companies of the Indian Army's [[Punjab Regiment (India)|15th Punjab]] (formerly First Patiala) were attacked by four brigades of the Pakistan Army on 3 December 1971 at 1835 hours. Nearly 4,000 Pakistani men attacked the Indian side with 15 tanks and heavy artillery support. The Indian commanders included Major Waraich, Major Singh's and Major Kanwaljit Sandhu, who was badly injured. Major SPS Waraich was reported captured, as were many [[Junior Commissioned Officer|JCOs]] and men as the squadrons were taken by surprise and had little time to get to their bunkers. A Pakistani radio news telecast reported (in [[Urdu]]) that ''Maj Waraich hamari hiraasat mein hain'' (Maj Waraich is in our custody). There was a subsequent report that Maj Waraich was in a [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|North West Frontier]]  jail. Their current status is unknown. They are listed as missing by the Indian Government along with 52 others including a Maj Ashok Suri who wrote a letter to his father in 1975 from [[Karachi]] stating that he was alive and well. Pakistan denies holding any of the soldiers missing in action.
