Answer: The person is "Srutayudha".
The story behind:
Parnasa, mother of Srutayudha went through penances that pleased Varuna and obtained from that god a boon that her son Srutayudha may not be killed by any enemy. God Varuna gave a mace to her saying "I shall give your son a divine weapon. Let him use it in all his battles. No enemy will be able to defeat him or kill him. But he should not use the weapon against one who does not fight. If he does, the weapon will recoil and kill him." In kurukshetra, Srutayudha fought on behalf of kauravas. When fighting Arjuna, disregarding the injunction,he hurled the mace at Krishna who was not fighting but was only driving Arjuna's chariot. Hence the missile hit Krishna's chest and immediately rebounded fiercely back to Srutayudha which killed him.
