WARRIORSREMEMBERED

‘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.

Commemorating and honouring our martyrs should not merely be an annual ritual, but also manifest in extending support and succour to the families they have left behind. Only then can it be said with conviction that we truly honour our martyrs. This is an integral part of our responsibility towards them.

The Central Reserve Police Force, in its 76 years of existence, has contributed to the maintenance of peace and tranquility and has been a part of many historic events. It has been at the forefront in maintaining law and order, combating terrorism and providing security to vital installations and institutions. In discharging this onerous responsibility, the Force has lost a number of its brave men and women. I salute the brave martyrs and their families from the bottom of my heart and pray to the Almighty to grant peace to the departed souls, and assure the families unstinted support of the nation.

As a matter of fact, it has been my earnest desire that the police forces of the country come out with a compilation of the brave deeds of their martyrs so that our young generation reads it and get inspired.

I am happy to release the meticulously compiled compendium of the martyrs of the Force on this special occasion of the “Police Commemoration Day”. I wish the Force all the very best.

FOREWORD

While I sit at my desk to pen the Foreword for this exhaustive compendium of our brave men and women, I look back and ponder at the rich history and the yeoman service rendered by the CentralReservePoliceForceintheevolutionofIndia.Raisedin1939astheCrownRepresentative’sPolice,ithasevolvedintothestrongestpillarofIndia’sinternalsecurityandthemainstayofIndian democracy. As the Commander of this largest para-military force of the country, I am more and more convinced that the Force has an envious versatility, which no other force can match.

From countering the dacoit menace in the plains of Central and Northern India to guarding the Indo-Tibet borders in Ladakh and Indo-Pak borders in Gujarat, from battling insurgency in the treacherousterrainsoftheNorth-EasttotakingonmilitancyinthekillingfieldsofPunjab,fromtacklingaproxywarinthebeautifulbuthostileclimesofJammuandKashmirtotakingontheMaoists in the hitherto uncharted territories of the Red Zone, the Force has vindicated its existence and acquitted itself creditably; notwithstanding, the innumerable deployments across the lengthandbreadthofthecountrytorestoreandmaintainlawandorderandsecureandsafeguardeverycitizen’sdemocraticrights.

Meanwhile, a young man entered the branch and went to the counter for preparing a bank draft but was turned back as most of the staff were on leave. The man instead of walking out positioned himself at the main entrance and signalled his accomplice, who was standing outside to join him inside. The other man promptly walked to the gate with a Kalashnikov Rifle, but Ct/Dvr Mohan Singh, sensing that all was not well held on firmly to the grill and did not permit the man to enter though he continued to push him with the rifle and threatened to shoot him. A scuffle ensued and though the man managed to gain entry, Ct/Dvr Mohan Singh firmly held on to the rifle, despite both the men trying to vest the rifle from him. Meanwhile, the third accomplice, who was waiting outside came closer to the gate and fired at Ct/Dvr Mohan Singh with his pistol from a very close range. The bullet hit him in the back and he made the supreme sacrifice of his life in the line of duty. The insurgents thereafter fired at the staff of the branch and the customers killing one and inflicting injuries to two.

Ct Naunihal Singh neutralised a terrorist and blocked their escape route. The terrorist entered a jawar field and from their hiding place brought heavy fire on Ct Naunihal Singh. He returned the fire and signalled his party to encircle the jawar field. Taking cover of high standing crops, terrorists retreated and hijacked a passing three wheeler and fled towards village Thakkar Kaura. Ct Naunihal dashed behind the fleeing terrorist firing on the three wheeler outpacing his party. The three wheeler overturned on a turn and AK-47 rifle of one of the terrorist fell underneath it. Taking cover the terrorist fired on Ct Naunihal who stood like a rock and thwarted the attempt of the terrorist to retrieve the rifle. The terrorists anticipating reinforcement retreated to a thick built-up area with Ct Naunihal behind them. One of the terrorist hiding behind a wall fired at Ct Naunihal injuring him.

WARRIORSREMEMBERED

‘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.
