Brigadier TM commander SSG
May 28, 1989
It was time for Tahajud Prayer when his mother woke up from a dream. She saw that her house was filled with a countless people and they were all gathered to congratulate her. She saw them paying her their affection and saying nothing but, “Mubarak ho Maan ji”. It was not clear what it was all about but it was imminent that something very honorable is going to happen with her family.
Next day when she saw, her small garden was full of beautiful flowers, with floral scent in the air. She couldn’t understand what it was all about. She called her most beloved son, but he was out in the field so she couldn’t talk to her.

He had just returned from the Attock fort after the unit inspection. Under his hawk eye super vision, he observed every step of the training being given to officers and jawans and was confident that his men can take up any task just on the notice of just a few seconds. He flew to Rahwali, Gujranwala as he had to attend an important event there.

“Who are you? Airborne!”
“What are you? Airborne!”
These were the slogans being chanted by the six paratroopers in the small compartment of an MI-17 helicopter. Paratroopers started their jump one after the other. Naik Sultan Ahmed was the third to jump. His “Sahab” patted on his shoulder before he was about to jump. “Khair ho”, were the last word said ho him by his “Sahab”.
On the ground, everyone was looking towards the skies, where one after the other, small dots floating on the sky began to appear. “Now the commander of this paratrooper contingent Brigadier Tariq Mehmood was to appear on the sky, who was the GOC of SSG and known as TM Tiger”, the announcement was made by the commentator on the ground. His wife Mrs. Iffat Mehmood was also looking towards the sky, where she could see the floating dots coming towards ground. Five parachutes were opened but the sixth wasn’t. Sixth member was falling down like a rock. She could see that the parachute of her husband wasn’t among the open parachutes; he was definitely the falling paratrooper. However, she didn’t think that it’s a threat but considered it as a motivational act by her husband. When he was about 200 feet above the ground, everyone could see that it was a parachute failure.
TM could be seen struggling with para-chords to open the chute. Mrs. Iffat Mehmood could see her husband making summersaults and trying to open the chute. His speed was not less them 250 KMPH at that time. While he saw the ground nearer, he maintained his falling position of a paratrooper to land on the ground. Away from the landing point, he fell in a wheat field.
Meanwhile the paratroopers in the sky also had taken measures to land as quickest as possible. Naik Sultan Ahmed was the first person to reach the landing spot. He got rid of his parachute and ran towards the falling spot of TM. He saw his “Sahab” lying on the ground. He looked as calm and intact as if he is just enjoying a sleep. As he got closer, he saw TM’s left cheek bone which was exposed and had torn out the skin. As he tried to pick him up, considering that his “Sahab” might be alive. He saw that almost every bone in his body had been crushed into pieces. His black dungaree was soaked in blood which was oozing from his body. TM left for heaven…
When the news reached his home at Pindi Ghape, his mother realized that this was the honor which she was told about in her dream. It was her most beloved. Like her dream, people from every part of the town were there to see their most beloved TM. Like the dream, her house was filled with people.
After a few days of TM’s burial, his brothers went on his grave to pray for him. There they saw a young boy in his early twenties. Weeping like a child, sitting near his grave, hand raised for a prayer. Everywhere on his arms, two alphabets “TM” were tattooed. They were surprised to see the young boy and asked that who was he? He told that he was a fan of TM and had met him once. He had heard a lot about TM as he was a living legend among people due to numerous acts of bravery.
After meeting TM, he decided to join army, but couldn’t qualify ISSB so he wasn’t selected. Whenever he was free from home, he came to the grave and pray for him. TM’s brothers were greatly impressed with his passion and invited him to visit their home whenever he wants. So he used to visit them and talk a lot about TM with the family members.
TM was not just a uniformed officer among his ranks and friends but was a true source of inspiration. Major Abid Zaman, who is credited to clear the APS Peshawar from the terrorists, was also inspired by TM. Although he is no more, but the course he set and the acts of velour he has performed are still an inspiration for every brave person.

Even in PMA, T.M became famous. During his college days, he was given the nickname TM. This name also followed him in the PMA and his colleagues started to pronounce TM as ٹکر مار “Takkar Maar” because he always faced every challenge fearlessly. His seniors gave him رگڑا (ragging), which he always enjoyed whole heartedly. According to one of his juniors”, Whole day he used to keep us on our toes, but in the evening he used to come to our room and say آئو یارو کج کھا پی کے آئیے Come fellows, let’s have something to eat”.
He was a dutiful person. His PMA fellows still remember that once their company was on an exercise at night. T.M was on guard patrol. It was the mountainous terrain. T.M was patrolling when he slipped and fell into a ditch. His head hit a stone and he got unconscious. TM was taken to the nearest CMH, where he gained consciousness after several hours. After opening his eyes, the first question he asked was,” where's my rifle? I have to complete my duty”.
