WARRIORSREMEMBERED

A homage to the brave men and women

from the Central Reserve Police Force who

laid down their lives in the line of duty

WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 3 1998-2004‘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.

MANIPUR 15 February 1998

98 Bn of CRPF was deployed in Imphal district of Manipur for conducting counter-insurgency operations against the insurgent outfits which had mushroomed across the State. On the 15th of February 1998, while troops were returning after conducting an operation, they were ambushed at Irrilbung Bridge and came under heavy gunfire of the militants. With the terrain affording no shelter, the brave CRPF troops retaliated by advancing further to silence the opposing guns at great personal risk. The valour and bravery of the troopers ultimately inflicted serious injuries and forced the insurgents to flee but in this courageous assault, eight brave troopers of CRPF were martyred. For the bravery and valour, Shaheed SI Joginder Singh, who was leading the assault, was awarded with President’s Police Medal for Gallantry posthumously.

The troops had hardly covered a distance of 2 kms from the camp when they were fired upon by insurgents who were waiting in an ambush. The insurgents were in good strength and had occupied all the hill features along the road. The troops were caught at a place where there was a deep cliff on one side and sophisticated armed insurgents on other. The only option left with the troops was to counter attack the ambush taking the insurgents head-on. Though the task entailed great risk of lives, there was no other option as the terrain afforded no other security. The troops gathered their courage and advanced ferociously at the insurgents positions firing heavily at them. A fierce gun fight took place which resulted in severe injuries on both sides. The troops ultimately succeeded in uprooting the well entrenched insurgents and the insurgents fled from the area carrying their injured and slain cadres. In the fierce head to head counter attack, eleven brave troopers of CRPF laid down their lives for the honour of their motherland.

DELHI 13 December 2001

No words can be enough to describe this act of valour in the sanctum sanctorum of Indian democracy, the Parliament building. On the 13th of December 2001, CRPF troops of 88 Bn were deployed at the Parliament House, New Delhi. The main duty assigned to the troops of 88 Bn was the checking of vehicles and persons entering the Parliament House. At around 1140 hrs. five militants entered the premises of Parliament House posing as VIPs with forged security pass pasted to their vehicle. After gaining entry in the premises of the Parliament House, the militants first blasted the IED fitted in the vehicle and then fired indiscriminately at the troops deployed there. The security staff at the Parliament House got alerted and closed all the doors of the main building due to which the militants could not enter the area where all the VVIPs were present. At the time of attack, Shaheed Ct Kamlesh Kumari was present at Gate No. 11. Despite of heavy firing all around she did not run away or leave her place of deployment rather she surreptitiously followed the militants and kept informing the troops about their movement. Her information helped the other troopers to finally neutralize all the five militants. In the endeavour she herself got injured but did not withdraw till all the militants were neutralized. Later she also succumbed to her injuries and attained martyrdom. For her bravery and courage, she was awarded the ASHOKA CHAKRA posthumously, the highest peacetime gallantry award by the Honourable President of India.

On the 20th of November 2002, troops of 110 Bn were on a road opening patrol under Police Station Loktak, Distt: Churachandpur. The troops were between village Leimatak and Jeevan Nagar when they were fired upon by insurgents who were waiting in an ambush and were occupying a dominating height.

A fierce gun fight took place which resulted in severe injuries on both sides. The troops ultimately succeeded in uprooting the well entrenched insurgents and the insurgents fled from the area carrying their injured and slain cadres.

WARRIORSREMEMBERED

A homage to the brave men and women

from the Central Reserve Police Force who

laid down their lives in the line of duty

WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 3 1998-2004‘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.
