On 19th April, 2009 Captain Najam Riaz, Captain Junaid Khan and two soldiers were moving out at Khwazakhela Bazar, Swat when they were surrounded by large number of terrorists; but they didn't retaliate as per the so called "Nizam-e-Adal Peace Agreement".

For many days he and the others were kept captive while the terrorists tried to use them to buy freedom for their captured comrades. When it seemed like such a deal could not be struck, the terrorists martyred Captain Najam Riaz and the three other soldiers.

All four brave men, died fighting valiantly. Surrounded by the brutal enemy, they were unfazed at the prospect of death and killed 8 terrorists with their bare hands before they were gunned down.
