Bravery Beyond Duty: Indian Army Soldiers Save Himalayan Brown Bear Cub ‘Bahadur’ Stuck in a Tin Can in Siachen, Old Videos Go Viral Again

In an inspiring display of compassion and courage, Indian Army soldiers stationed in the icy heights of Siachen rescued a Himalayan brown bear cub, affectionately named Bahadur, after it was found with its head trapped in a tin can. The incident, captured in videos last year in 2024, has gone viral again. It took place near one of the army posts where the cub frequently visited with its mother. After the mother stopped appearing, Bahadur began wandering alone and was later seen struggling for survival with the tin can stuck on its head. Realising the danger, the soldiers undertook a risky rescue operation in treacherous terrain, with one officer personally approaching the frightened cub on his knees to avoid startling it. Despite the threat of avalanches caused by unstable snow, the team managed to pull Bahadur to safety and carefully removed the tin can using makeshift tools without harming the animal. The soldiers then fed and comforted the cub, who reportedly stayed with them for hours after being freed, showing signs of trust and affection. As per the X post, ever since the incident, Bahadur has become a beloved visitor at the post, often responding to the soldiers’ calls and returning for food. Avalanche Hits Indian Army Camp in Siachen Glacier, 3 Soldiers Including 2 Agniveers Killed.
