He graduated from the Pakistan Military Academy with the 6th PMA, which was barely 3 years after the formation of Pakistan as an independent state. He was awarded the second most honorable award in Pakistan, the Hilal-i-Jurat, awarded to officers for acts of valor, courage or devotion to duty performed on land, at sea or in air. He was fatally wounded in the Pakistan/India war of 1971. The Pakistan/India border near Kasur, Pakistan is named in his honour.
