Captain Isfandyar Bukhari was wing commander of 48th Jinnah Wing Entry and had received Sword of Honour in 118th PMA Long Course and was awarded Tactics Medal as well.

In a letter by one of Isfandyar’s teachers, Mr. Zaheer Qandeel, he paid a tribute by saying, “My martyred child, you are so big now that I feel so little!”
Following is the letter written for Isfandyar and a few pictures of this brave son of soil.
