ARRIORS REMEM
BERED
WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 4 2005-2015‘Warriors Remembered’, a compendium of four volumes, is an
endeavour by the Force to compile the heroic deeds as well as
the personal details of 2014 brave men and women of the Central
Reserve Police Force who have made the supreme sacrifi ce in
the line of duty, both in India and overseas. The previous compila-
tion was published in 2000. Much has happened since then, and
therefore, it was important that their brave deeds are immortalized
before they fade from our memories. The Hon’ble Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi had also called upon the police forces of the
country to enlighten the people about the contribution that the
brave men and women of these forces have made to the nation.
With an enormous and a diverse history of 76 years (1939- 2015),
preserving records has been a challenge owing in part to the
nomadic nature of the Force. Therefore, a great deal of effort and
perseverance has gone into painstakingly compiling the details
of those who had laid down their lives in the line of duty. Memo-
ries were rekindled and records revisited to ensure fi delity of the
narratives as well as other details. While family members would
be given a copy to be preserved for posterity, readers would be
enlightened about the brave deeds of the personnel of the Central
Reserve Police Force.
Vol 4 2005-2015
A homage to the brave men and women
from the Central Reserve Police Force who
laid down their lives in the line of duty

The Vir Chakra is an Indian gallantry award presented for acts of bravery in the battlefield. It replaced the British Distinguished Service Cross
(DSC). It is third in precedence in the war time gallantry awards and comes after the Param Vir Chakra and Maha Vir Chakra. It was established by
the President of India on 26 January 1950 (with effect from 15 August 1947).
The Shaurya Chakra is awarded for valour, courageous action or self-sacrifice while not engaged in direct action with the enemy. It is awarded
to civilians as well as military personnel, also posthumously. It is the peacetime equivalent of the Vir Chakra and is generally awarded for counter-
insurgency operations and action against the enemy during peace-time. It is third in order of precedence of peacetime gallantry awards and comes
after the Ashoka Chakra and the Kirti Chakra. Before 1967, the award was known as the Ashoka Chakra, Class III.
The King’s Police Medal for Gallantry was introduced to recognise the gallantry of police officers in saving life and property, or in preventing crime
or arresting criminals. It was established on 7 July 1909.
The President’s Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry replaced the King’s Police Medal for Gallantry after the Independence of India,

awarded for gallantry or for distinguished service carried out by any soldier, not in the face of the enemy.
The Police Medal for Gallantry is awarded for conspicuous gallantry of a lesser degree than what is required for the President’s Police Medal for
Gallantry. Recipients for this award are considered without regard to rank or length of service. Recipients are granted an additional monthly stipend
that is paid even after retirement, and upon the death of a recipient, to the recipient’s widow.

Without caring for their lives, the troops advanced towards the enemy using tactics of fire and move. The bold and courageous response from the troopers forced the insurgents to flee from the area. During the counter-attack, Shaheed HC Sukhwinder Singh received severe bullet injuries. Despite sustaining injuries he fought from the front and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. The brave heart later succumbed to his injuries and attained martyrdom.

On the 3rd of September 2005, troops of 87 Bn CRPF were returning to their bases after conducting operation against maoists in the jungles of PS Bijapur, Dist. Bijapur. As the troopers, who were in a Mine Protected Vehicle, reached near village Paddeda, the maoists waiting in an ambush blasted a powerful IED followed by indiscriminate fire. The vehicle came under the impact of IED and was blown away, inflicting serious injuries to the occupants. Most of the troopers sustained serious injuries. The maoists then advanced to loot the weapons of the injured troopers. Gathering courage and overcoming pain, few injured brave hearts held to their weapons and fired at the maoists. They kept firing at the maoists while changing their positions to give an impression that only few of the troopers had sustained injuries. The maoists fell for the trick and fled from the area. The injured were evacuated from the area but twenty two valiant troopers succumbed to their injuries and attained martyrdom in the line of duty.

On the 8th of October 2005, troops of 136 Bn CRPF launched an operation against maoists at village Benaidhia, PS Simariya, Dist. Chatra. During the operation, troops recovered an iron box from the house of a suspect named Ganju. The troops brought the box out of the house and tried to open the lock. As soon as the box was opened, a blast took place from the box followed by firing from all around. Due to the blast many troopers sustained injuries. Overcoming the shock, the troopers immediately took positions and retaliated the fire. The maoists, who had surrounded the troops, then tried to close in and go for the final kill but the brave and courageous troops fired heavily at the maoists, holding them at bay. In the gun fight that lasted for around two hours, the troops valiantly fought with the maoists who were not just superior in number but also held dominating grounds. In the fight the injured troopers fought hand-in-hand too with others. As reinforcements arrived, the maoists fled from the area. 9 brave troopers, including an officer, attained martyrdom in the incident. The incident highlights the grit and determination of the troopers who did not give up until their last breath.

When the patrol was near village Tollen, the insurgents waiting in an ambush opened indiscriminate fire at it. The insurgents had laid the ambush at a tactical place where they had advantage of height, dense vegetation and a number of escape routes. The troops immediately took positions and retaliated the fire. Launching an attack at insurgents was a daunting task due to poor visibility and uphill movement. Nevertheless, the brave troopers advanced ahead without caring for their lives and launched an attack. Facing the unexpected attack, the insurgents fled from the area. During the encounter 3 brave troopers of CRPF, namely, Shaheed HC Nishan Singh, Shaheed HC/Dvr Vijay Kumar Singh and Shaheed Ct Sanjeev Kumar Singh sustained severe injuries when they were spearheading the attack. Despite sustaining injuries they continued to fire at the insurgents and ultimately laid down their lives in the battlefield.

On the receipt of information regarding movement of maoists near village Gaganpalli under PS Errabore, District Dantewada, troops of 119 Bn CRPF launched an operation. As the troops reached near the target village, Shaheed Ct Shadhu Yadav who was in front noticed a suspicious gathering. Before he could take any further action, maoists present amongst the villagers fired at the troops. As it was not wise to fire at the maoists hiding behind innocent villagers, Shaheed Ct Shadhu Yadav moved ahead to reach closer to the maoists positions. Seeing the advance of the troops, the maoists began to flee under cover of human shield. As soon as the maoists entered the jungle they opened heavy fire at the advancing troops. Due to indiscriminate fire of maoists, Shaheed Ct Shadhu Yadav received severe injuries. Despite sustaining injuries he kept charging at the maoists. The maoists failing to dent the morale of the troops fled from the area under dense cover. The brave was evacuated to the nearest hospital but he succumbed to his injuries and attained martyrdom.

Seven Muzzle loaded guns, one .303 Rifle, two country made guns, thirteen barrels of guns and other incriminating articles were recovered from the site. After dismantling the factory and a training camp established alongwith the factory, the troops planned their withdrawal. As the troops were withdrawing, the maoists waiting in an ambush opened indiscriminate fire at the troops. The maoists then tried to encircle the troops. Observing the movement of maoists, the commander divided its team into three and launched the counter-attack. A fierce gun battle in the dense jungle took place which resulted in losses on both sides. The concerted effort and valour of brave troopers forced the maoists to flee from the area. In this battle six brave officers and men, namely, Shaheed Shri N. Manoranjan Singh, Asst. Comdt., Shaheed Shri Rakesh Kumar Chaurasia, Asst. Comdt. Shaheed SI Sunil Kumar Verma, Shaheed HC Lalit Kumar, Shaheed Ct Uday Kumar Yadav and Shaheed Ct Manohar Lal Chandra sacrificed their lives while fighting bravely. Their valour and sacrifice will remain etched in the history of CRPF. For their valour and bravery the martyrs were awarded the Police Medal for Gallantry posthumously.

Troops of 62 Bn CRPF launched a three day operation against maoists in the general area of PS- Chintagufa, Dist. Dantewada on the 4th of April 2010. On the 6th of April 2010, as the troops were advancing towards village Tadmetla, PS- Chintagufa, the maoists who had laid an ambush opened indiscriminate fire at the troops coupled with blasting of IEDs. The maoists had laid a well planned ambush occupying all the vantage heights of the area. The maoists who were more than 500 in number encircled the troops and tried to completely annihilate them using intense fire. The troops retaliated the fire and a fierce gunfight started at around 0600 hrs. Troops called for reinforcement but that was way laid and a MPV bunker blasted. Though completely encircled by four sophisticatedly armed companies and a Battalion component of the maoists, the brave troopers fought with full vigour and inflicted casualties on the maoists. When the troops found that they have been completely encircled by the maoists, they switched to optimum use of their ammunitions. The maoists had planted IEDs at every possible place where the force personnel would have looked for cover. For six long hours the troops fought bravely against a heavily numbered and tactically positioned enemy. The bravery and valour of the troops could be gauged from the fact that a gallant who saw the inevitable, pulled a pin out of his hand grenade and kept the grenade under his own body to inflict casualties on approaching maoists. Another constable jumped on a maoist position with a primed grenade in his hand. Some brave hearts before losing consciousness concealed their weapons under their bodies so that the maoists could not loot them. For six long hours the troopers fought valiantly with the maoists but did not surrender which was offered to them. Seventy five brave troopers sacrificed their lives but not before neutralizing seven maoists and injuring eight others. The nation and CRPF will always remember these brave hearts that lived to their pledge of serving the nation till their last breath.

On the 12th of June 2010, troops of 203 CoBRA Bn launched an operation against maoists in the general area of Tegir, Gerei and Mamel Villages, PS- Bandgaon, Dist. West Singhbhum. As the troops reached close to the target area, the maoists opened heavy fire at the troops coupled with blasting of IEDs. The troops also retaliated and a fierce encounter ensued. The maoists were present at a hilltop and were trying to stop any further advance of the troops. However, without caring for their own lives the troopers moved ahead. Seeing the ferocious attack of the troopers, the maoists fled from the area. During the fierce gun battle Shaheed Ct Himmat Singh Shekhawat sustained severe gun injuries when he was spearheading the assault. He was evacuated from the battlefield but the brave heart succumbed to the injuries and sacrificed his life. Troops recovered twenty clay more mines, three bags of explosive, six bags of ammonium nitrate, one electric metal cutter, three solar panel plates, two generators and other incriminating items from the hide-out.

On the 29th of June 2010, troops of 39 Bn CRPF carried out road opening patrol under PS- Narayanpur, Dist. Narayanpur for safe movement of administrative troops in the area. After the completion of task the parties were ordered to return to their bases. One such party when was near village Maharabeda, was ambushed by the maoists. The troops immediately took position and launched a counter-attack under the command of Shaheed Sh. Jatin Gulati, Asst. Comdt.. Without caring for the incessant bullets the troops advanced towards the enemy positions. But to their surprise there was another ambush which rained heavy bullets at them from behind. The troops got caught in the two sided ambush. Firing from two directions did not deter the commander and he divided his troops into two and launched a simultaneous counter-attack at both the ambushes. As the troopers ferociously charged at the maoists, the maoists started blasting the IEDs planted at possible covers of the troops. Though the troopers were getting injured but the commander Shaheed Sh. Jatin Gulati, Asst. Comdt. did not loose his courage. He kept exhorting his troops to fight and kept their morale up. But, soon some more maoists joined the ambush and they completely encircled the troops. The troops fought bravely for two hours under their able commander and kept the maoists at bay till the reinforcements arrived. In the fierce gunfight twenty seven valiant troopers including an officer sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.For leading the troops from the front and in recognition of their bravey, Shaheed Sh. Jatin Gulati, Asst. Comdt. and Shaheed HC R N Das were awarded the Police Medal for Gallantry posthumously.

ARRIORS REMEM
BERED
WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 4 2005-2015‘Warriors Remembered’, a compendium of four volumes, is an
endeavour by the Force to compile the heroic deeds as well as
the personal details of 2014 brave men and women of the Central
Reserve Police Force who have made the supreme sacrifi ce in
the line of duty, both in India and overseas. The previous compila-
tion was published in 2000. Much has happened since then, and
therefore, it was important that their brave deeds are immortalized
before they fade from our memories. The Hon’ble Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi had also called upon the police forces of the
country to enlighten the people about the contribution that the
brave men and women of these forces have made to the nation.
With an enormous and a diverse history of 76 years (1939- 2015),
preserving records has been a challenge owing in part to the
nomadic nature of the Force. Therefore, a great deal of effort and
perseverance has gone into painstakingly compiling the details
of those who had laid down their lives in the line of duty. Memo-
ries were rekindled and records revisited to ensure fi delity of the
narratives as well as other details. While family members would
be given a copy to be preserved for posterity, readers would be
enlightened about the brave deeds of the personnel of the Central
Reserve Police Force.
Vol 4 2005-2015
