Biography[edit]
Early life[2][edit]

Martyrdom[5][edit]
On 12th October 2017, Pak-Army rescued a Canadian Family[6] that was held captive by Taliban in Afghanistan.[7][8][9] As a result, the Pak-Afghan Border was on high alert as Taliban were using different methods to harm Pak-Army.
On 15th October 2017, an IED exploded in general area of Kharlachi planted by Taliban resulting in numerous casualties. Capt Husnain Nawaz immediately moved to the IED site to offer possible help. While evacuating causalities, another IED exploded, causing severe injuries to him. He was taken to CMH, Parachinar[10][11] but succumbed to his injuries and was declared a martyr (Urdu: شہید). He was 1st martyr officer from his unit, 92 EW Signal Battalion.

Lit.: Medal of Good Conduct)[1] in the line of duty at Pak-Afghan Border. Many Political Leaders and high officials of Pakistan also visited his family and gravestone to pay their condolences and salute.[13]
