In 1963, Osman Shera and a comrade wanted to return to Mount Qarachogh, but behind the village of Qucha Balbas at the foot of Mount Qarachogh, they fell into an ambush by a leader of the pro-government militia (Jash) of the then-Iraqi regime. At the beginning of the confrontation, his comrade Ali Qadri was martyred, and Osman Shera resisted alone for one hour.
