The PoWs were subjected to immense torture and were forced to sleep on the floor in the chilly weather of December, Air Vice Marshal (retd) Aditya Vikram Pethiya recalls. The excesses still fill the elderly officer with anguish.
The incident occurred when around 25 people were crossing the old bridge over a stream in the village, over 100 kms from Pune. The iron bridge is 25 years old and was rusting at the foundation due to stream water.
Ophthalmologist Dr Govinda Venkataswamy, the founder of Aravind Eye Hospital, was conferred the Padmashree award in 1973 for his service to the nation.
