Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

On 14.11.2013, at about 3.30PM, one Sri Dilip Dutta Medhi, Sericultural Development Officer, Resubelpara, North Garo Hills District of Meghalaya state was kidnapped by suspected armed Rabha National Liberation Front cadres from Choto Matia village under Krishnai PS Goalpara District of Assam. This refers to Krishnai PS case No. 245/2013 U/S 365/34 IPC R/W Section 25 (1-B) A/27 Arms act.

At about 6 PM in the evening of 24.11.2013, an information was received by Sri Nitul Gogoi, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Goalpara regarding shifting of the kidnapped victim Sri Dilip Dutta Medhi, Sericultural Development Officer, Resulbelpara, North Garo Hills District of Meghalaya state, by the kidnappers from their present location somewhere near Bogulamari (a bordering village with Meghalaya) under Dudhnoi PS to an undisclosed new location. On receipt of the input Sri Nitul Gogoi, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Goalpara, chalked out an operational plan as there was no time to call for the CRPF and Army. The only police officers and men present with him were Smt. Rosie Kalita, APS, Additional Superintendent of Police, ABC Bipul Kumar Thapa, ABC Hiyamoy Rabha, ABC Rajib Kumar Rabha, UBC Nirod Talukdar. The operational team was divided into two groups for the outer cordon and inner cordon as the intelligence input was very much specific about the movement of the ultras with the kidnapped victim in an auto rickshaw. The outer cordon party was sent to cover up the routes going out of the Bogulamari village towards a village of Meghalaya state. The inner cordon party comprised of Sri Nitul Gogoi, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Goalpara, Smt. Rosie Kalita APS, Additional Superintendent of Police (HQ) Goalpara, SI (UB) Jyoti Prasad Handique, ABC Bipul Kumar Thapa, ABC Rajib Kumar Rabha, and they waited for the movement of vehicles through the village route. Since it was a solitary place near Bogulamari L.P.School, there was no544 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) [PART I—SEC. 1 movement of vehicles till 7 PM. After a few minutes past 7PM, an auto ricksaw was noticed coming out of the village road towards Bogulamari L.P.School. The inner cordon party intercepted the auto ricksaw with 7 (seven) persons inside it. When Sri Nitul Gogoi, IPS, SP, Goalpara asked for the identity of the persons inside the auto ricksaw, one of them introduced himself as Dilip, who looked frail and older than the other occupants of the vehicle. Immediately Rosie Kalita, APS, Additional Superintendent of Police (HQ) Goalpara, realizing that the frail and old looking man as the kidnapped victim, pulled out the kidnapped victim Dilip Dutta Medhi, out of the auto ricksaw without caring for the safety of her own life. At this the RNLF cadres lobbed a grenade and started indiscriminate firing upon the police party by getting down from the vehicle. Two of the RNLF Cadres who were sitting on both sides of the auto ricksaw doors fled taking advantage of the darkness and terrain. Immediately, Shri Nitul Gogoi, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Goalpara, without caring for the safety of his own life and taking all the risks of saving the lives of the kidnapped victim and his own subordinate officers and men, started firing back and ordered retaliation by the officers present there. The officers remained undeterred, displayed grit and raw courage with utter disregard to personal safety fired upon the cadres as there was no time to take position and fire in a restrained manner.

When the lobbying of grenades and firing stopped, the police party searched the PO. During search, 4 (four) persons were found lying with bullet injuries and immediately ambulance was called to evacuate them to the nearest hospital. The PO as well as the auto ricksaw was thoroughly searched and following was recovered :—

1. (one) carbine

2. (one) .38 revolver

3. (three) live ammunitions of .38 caliber

4. (four) live ammunitions of 9 MM caliber

5. (two) live hand grenades

6. (one) magazine

7. Blankets

8. Mobile Phones

9. SIM cards

The attending doctors declared the injured persons brought dead in the hospital. Later on, the deceased persons were identified by their relatives as Jagadish Rabha, Sibcharan Rabha, Ranjan Rabha, Joydhana Rabha. They were identified as hardcore RNLF cadres who were already listed in the list of RNLF Cadres in the officer of the District Special branch, Goalpara.

It is noteworthy that the whole operation was a rare display of courage, at the risk of their own lives, showing extraordinary gallant action in recovering the kidnapped victim unharmed and annihilating the kidnappers in a tactical manner by not allowing any harm to him as well as to his subordinate officers and men. This rare display of gallant action by the Police party saved the lives of the victim Sri Dilip Dutta Medhi and all the police personnel.

In this encounter S/Shri Nitul Gogoi, Superintendent of Police, Smt. Rosie Kalita, Addl. Superintendent of Police, Jyoti Prasad Handique, Sub Inspector, Bipul Kr. Thapa, Constable and Rajib Kr. Rabha, Constable displayed conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

On 30.03.2014, a secret information was received by Manu Maharaaj, Sr. SP Patna that a full armed gang of criminals had unleashed a reign of terror in remote Diara area Lodipur Vyapur under Maner P.S.(Patna distt.). The gang was involved in number of heinous and sensational crimes, like forcible collection of Rangdari from sand trader and farmers, murders, kidnapping, dacoity etc. They had nefarious plan of booth capturing in Diara areas in coming Lok Sabha Election 2014 in favour of a particular party.

A Police team consisting of Jayant Kant, City S.P. Patna, Anupam Kumar Addl., SP(Operation) Patna, Sub Inspector of Police Surendra Kumar Singh, Sanjay Kumar Singh and constables of Patna DPF under the leadership of Manu Maharaaj, Sr. SP Patna in utter disregard, of involving risk covered a long and difficult terrain on foot and crossed the deep Ganga river in dark night and approached the den of criminals at about 03:30 AM. After assessing topography of Diara Manu Maharaaj, SSP Patna divided Police team into three parties one led by himself 2nd led by Jayant Kant, City SP Patna, and 3rd led by Anupam Kumar, Addl. SP(Operation) Patna respectively & ordered them- to move in different directions. The den of criminals was cordoned: its execution perfect. The criminals were asked repeatedly to lay down their arms and surrender. Defying warnings the defiant criminals started firing indiscriminately, the bullets grazing past the police parties all around. The criminals were in advantageous position under clear line of fire having entrenched themselves in sand morcha whereas the police parties were forced to save themselves from line of fire taking, position on plain sand. Finding the situation daunting, Manu Maharaaj Sr. SP Patna asked police parties to crawl forward and open fire. This battle of bullets continued for two and half hours. The criminals fired hundreds of rounds whereas the police parties fired 48 rounds not aiming to kill the criminals but to make pressure them to surrender before the police so as to interrogate them further to root out their gangs completely. This retaliatory action against extremely violent, reckless and deadly attacks of desperate ultras plunged them into a tight corner and forced them to withdraw and escape, irrespective of substantial risk to their lives, the members of police parties chased the escapees hotly and arrested 9 of them with their arms and ammunitions and cash money. One criminal was arrested while he was trying to escape swimming across the Ganga throwing his AK-47 in water.

From further investigation and confessional statements of arrested persons it was established that the gang was supported by notorious criminals Reetlal Yadav presently in jail for 20 cases. The gang leader Shanker Dayal Sharma alias Fouji was fugitive soldier of 10 Para Commando Battalion for 10 cases, he was a strategist and architect of many daredevil operations against Police Force in the past. He had formed a formidable gang of notorious criminals and nourished no respect for the police or the administration.

Under the able leadership of Manu Maharaaj Sr. SP Patna the police team taking threat to their lives invaded inaccessible den of criminals armed with sophisticated weapons and arrested 9 hard bitten criminals and recovered a big volume of arms and ammunition including looted police rifle. Their nefarious design of booth capturing in coming Lok Sabha Election 2014 was nipped in the bud. Sr. SP proved himself not only as an order making officer but he actively participated in encounter. In this tremendous exciting battle of bullets against unyielding and committed hard core criminals his active presence and qualitative leadership on the front enthused courage and exalted the morale of the police parties. His alacrity, prudent man management and indomitable self confidence steered the team to prized achievement.

This encounter has brought a semblance of peace in terror and violence ridden area of Diara. This brave act of the Police was performed without any loss of life or injury on either side or loss or damage to Govt. property. The Print and the electric media wrote much about the dare devilry of the police team and the recoveries made. It was indeed performance of highest order by any standard.

On 15/08/2005, Mudit Nahar, an eleven year old child of a prominent business of Purnea was abducted. The Purnia Police under the leadership of Shri Sudhanshu Kumar immediately swung into action. Due to his comprehensive knowledge of local geography of possible escape routes, ability to think clearly and mobilize and marshal his resources prudently in a crisis situation and leading his men from front, the police succeeded in intercepting, engaging and mowing down 04 dreaded gangsters after having given them sufficient warning to surrender and in the face of incessant firing by the gangsters. The encounter was close, fierce and quite a challenge. But it was just the beginning of a long, sometimes frustrating but throughout a very determined trail that would ultimately lead the police to the hideout of kidnappers, that is where the gallant action took place in the process of safe recovery of the abductees.

Through continuous electronic and human surveillance, including threadbare analysis of mobile printouts, mobile tower location and range, he got one Sushila Devi alias Gudiya arrested, who during the interrogation, revealed the whereabouts of the abductors. At that juncture, he showed not only the natural sense of anticipation, rather charted out full proof planning. In the night of 23/24.08.2005, encircling the kidnapers hideouts at Katihar from all directions, Mr. Sudhanshu Kumar and SI Sindhu Shekhar Singh did not even hesitate to have a direct date with almost certain death. The Police team sought to engage the abductors from the front doors and the rear windows of the two rooms to divert their attention and firing power. Displaying supreme gallantry SI Sindhu Shekhar Singh pounced upon one of the abductors to physically overpower him. However, the criminal fired at him again, but fortunately the bullet missed SI Sindhu Shekhar Singh . Before the criminal could fire again, Sudhanshu Kumar who was right behind of Mr. Singh, fired at the criminal who fell down. The still surviving criminal, however tried again to target Sudhanshu Kumar, but before that SI Sindhu Shekhar Singh fired at the548 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) [PART I—SEC. 1 criminal and took the abducted boy in his custody.

"Police uncle, mujeh bacha lijiye" was very, very desperate call from an innocent kid, who was kidnapped by the death-traders and Mr Sudhanshu & his team, without caring for their personal safety-stood up to the challenge and proved to be equal to the task.

On 20.01.2014, a specific information was received by Police Awantipora regarding movement of terrorists in Dadsara area in Awantipora. Accordingly a police party headed by Shri Abdul Waheed Shah, SP Awantipor alongwith 03 RR rushed to the area and established special Nakas at some strategic points. At about 1830 hours, the party noticed suspicious movement of a person who was on way towards Awantipora for the purpose of committing some subversive activity on NHW. On noticing presence of Security Forces, the terrorist fired indiscriminately upon the operational party and tried to escape towards the residential area. Shri Abdul Waheed Shah, SP heading the operational party chased the terrorist without caring for his life and encircled him in a professional manner so as to deter him from entering in the nearby residential area. The terrorist was initially asked to surrender, however, he refused to do so and again fired indiscriminately upon the operational party. The terrorist took shield behind a big walnut tree from one side and a high rise structure from the other side. After some deliberations, it was decided to approach the terrorist from two opposite directions by two separate parties; one headed by Shri Abdul Waheed Shah, SP and other by Shri Perveiz Ahmad SDPO Awantipora. The parties tightened the circle carefully and retaliated in self defense. The exchange of fire took place for half an hour and then fire from other side stopped. Due to poor visibility, it was difficult to ascertain whether the terrorist had died or not. Shri Abdul Waheed Shah- SP alongwith a small police party volunteered to go ahead to ascertain death of the terrorist putting their lives to great risk. While moving ahead, the terrorist who had sustained bullet injuries and was pretending to be dead, abruptly tried to lob grenade towards the approaching officials. However, SP Awantipora acted swiftly and fired upon the terrorist in a daredevil manner and killed him on spot.

All escape routes were plugged and the search was started from all the directions. During the search operation, movement of terrorists was noticed inside the forests. Since the terrorists were at higher reaches of the forest and enjoyed advantageous position as compared to operational teams who were in down-side of the forest, it was arduous task for the operational teams to eliminate the hiding terrorists. Sensing the situation, Shri Fayaz Hussain –ASP Kupwara and Shri Mohd Aftab Awan- Dy SP alongwith HC Dilber Singh and Const. Zafar Iqbal Naik volunteered themselves to advance towards the target site, least caring for their lives. Noticing advancements from the operational teams, the hiding terrorists opened indiscriminate firing on the said party but for the operational capabilities and commitment towards duties, the police party led by Shri Fayaz Hussain- ASP Kupwara and Shri Mohd Aftab Awan, Dy SP reacted quickly and denied opportunity to the terrorists to escape from the site by taking the forest path to reach the inhabited Village (Syedpora). Sensing police deployment all around, terrorists took cover of forest trees and resorted to indiscriminate firing again upon the police party. The assault teams continued chasing the hiding terrorists and successfully engaged them. As the number of terrorists was high, it was a herculean task to push them to a solitary location but the operational team comprising Shri Fayaz Hussain- ASP Kupwara and Shri Mohd Aftab Awan, Dy. SP alongwith HC Dilber Singh and Const. Zafar Iqbal Naik fought bravely and in the first instance, 02 terrorists were gunned down.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

On 17/09/2012 based on an intelligence input regarding presence of a Maoist squad of Arvind Mukhia, Sub Zonal commander of CPI (Maoist) with his 15 armed squad members in the house of Janki Bhuiyan of village Rabda (Juri), PS Pratappur, Dist Chatra (Jharkhand), a combined party of District police Chatra and COBRA-203 was made under command of SDPO Chatra Shri Sadique Anwar Rizvi and Dy. Comdt. COBRA-203 Shri P. R. Mishra. This combined party consist 32 members including officers and men. The combined party was briefed and an operation was planned to hit the squad of Maoist in night. It was a challenging and extremely difficult task to engage the maoist squad in their bastion. The tough nature of task was compounded by the fact that it was a complete dark night with heavy rainfall. It was a far away village in dense forest area. The team moved from Chatra in a camouflage vehicle and debussed at Satbahini about 08 Kms from the target area Rabda. Thereafter, the team moved in darkness very tactically against all odds of nature. After covering a distance of about 08 kms on foot through watery paddy fields and dense forest area the troops reached village Rabda at around 0300 hrs. Since the exact location of the house around which the naxal presence was reported not known to the team so an advance team was made, in which there were SDPO Chatra Sadique Anwar Rizvi, Dy. Comdt COBRA-203 P.R. MISHRA, Constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav and three constables of Cobra 203. Two cut offs teams had already been deployed at probable escape routes of naxals from the house. There was strong possibility of presence of civilians, ladies and children in the house. So this advance party with SDPO Chatra Sadique Anwar Rizvi and Constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav decided to move closure and segregate the naxals instead of using indiscriminate fire to avoid causality of any innocent civilian. Very high risk and threat of life was involved in this decision but the troops under command SDPO S.A. Rizvi took this risk of their life. This advance party took the risk and crawled their way towards the house. After reaching very close to the armed Maoists, SDPO Chatra S.A. Rizvi challenged the Maoist cadre to surrender which was instantly responded with heavy firing by maoists from the house as well as from the maize field. This was the real test of their courage and they rose to the occasion and started retaliating gallantly against the armed maoists. With great courage and without caring for their personal lives SDPO Chatra S.A. Rizvi and Constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav engaged the naxals by firing towards them with their AK 47. SDPO S.A. Rizvi fired 20 rounds and Constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav fired 45 rounds with their AK-47 rifle. Armed maoists were firing heavily towards them from inside the house as well as from maize field. In the heavy firing from naxals COBRA Dy. Comdt. P.R. Mishra got injured with bullets in his back. Constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav got injured by bullets in his leg and thigh. He was hit by three bullets. One constable of COBRA Mukesh Kumar Bunker was seriously injured by a bullet hitting his forehead. SDPO Chatra S.A. Rizvi with constable of Chatra police Sanjay Kumar Yadav and Constable of COBRA 203 Mukesh Kumar Bunker both of whom already seriously injured did not loose nerve and continued to fire heavily inside the house and killed naxals. Even after the serious injury to two constables and one officer of Dy. Comdt. rank SDPO Chatra S.A. Rizvi showed great bravery, courage and leadership quality in this fight. Dy. SP S.A. Rizvi and constable Sanjay Kumar Yadav were exposed to life threat but they did not loose the grit and determination. They continued heavy firing for around half an hour. As a result naxals had to free with many of them injured in this encounter including their leader Sub Zonal commander Raghuvansh @ Banarsi. Maoist fled away taking the advantage of darkness and dense forest. In this encounter one maoist Jitendra Bhuiyan @ Jeetu was killed and many more got injured. Heavy amount of arms and ammunition was recovered including three police weapon in which there was an AK-47 rifle. A lot of naxal literature was recovered with Rs. 40000/- amount of levy money. Injured Dy. Comdt. of COBRA P.R. Mishra, Constable of Chatra police Sanjay Kumar Yadav and constable of COBRA Mukesh Kumar Bunker were immediately taken first to PHC Pratappur. Further they were lifted by Chopper to Appolo Hospital Ranchi. Constable Mukesh Kumar Bunker could not survive and martyred during treatment in AIIMS Delhi. In this operation against maoists a full LGS (Local Gorilla Squad) of CPI (MAOIST) was damaged with all of its arms and ammunition.

Police of Chhattisgarh state was planned. Immediately for this operation, API Manohar Koreti and party Commander Gangaram Sidam along with 23 men of SAG party and party Commander Chandrayya Godari along with 24 men of C-60 pary, Aheri were set out for SPS Damrancha and reached there by night. While, on same day, a component of 04 men from Farsegad PS of Bijapur Dist. under the leadership of Sub Inspector Chanakya Nag was also came at SPS Damrancha and halted there at night.

Then, on 06.02.2014, all of them along with PSI Nagesh Yamgar and PSI Swapnil Koli along with 34 men of SPS Darmanch set out in a body for launching interstate anti-naxal operation in the jurisdiction of Farsegad Police Station, on the bordering area of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra State. After continuous search operation for two days as per the plan provided to them, when these parties were traversing through the hilly, thickly forested terrain of Bade Kakler jungle area on foot, which is the strong hold of naxalites, on 08.02.2014 at about 1600 hrs, the police teams were suddenly attacked by 35- 40 armed naxalites laying preplanned ambush.

Undaunted by this sudden attack, API Koreti instructed his men to immediately take positions behind trees and boulders to protect themselves from the volley of bullets and simuiltaneously retaliate the fire of naxalites. API Koreti himself advanced further and encouraged his team to retaliate the naxal fire. However, the naxalites kept on firing heavily towards police and were desperately trying to run over the police party, as they were in advantageous positions. So that, for encouraging their party men, party Commanders namely Gangaram Sidam and Chandrayya Godari alongwith their men,566 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) [PART I—SEC. 1 outflaked the naxalites in the midst of heavy exchange of gun fire and continued advancing and engaging the naxalites in a fierce gun. During this retaliation, PC Bapu Suramvar and NPC Nageshwar Kumaran were the two brave-hearts who were at the leading positions, valiantly ran on the naxals, firing heavily and without caring for their own lives. This exchange of fire continued for about 30 minutes after which naxals realized the futility of their attempt and fled away from the spot taking the advantage of hills and dense forest.

After the stoppage of fire from naxal side, API Koreti, HC Godari and NPC Sidam stretched out the cordon along the place of incident and proceeded towards the attacking side through proper searching of the area. During search of the place of incident and its vicinity, police recovered two male naxal dead bodies and one female naxal dead body along with a Bharmar rifle, a pittu and other naxal material. Further, pools of blood were noticed at various places in the vicinity of the place of incident, by which it can concluded that, many naxalites might had been either killed or injured during this encounter.

Thus, these five brave police personnel successfully led the police party through fierce exchange of fire and while leading this operation none of them cared for their lives and courageously repelled the naxal attack with cool temperament and effective coordination amongst themselves. By this, they not only saved the life of the police party but also were successful in eliminating three hard-core naxal cadres.

Constable568 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) [PART I—SEC. 1 Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

In the early hours of 17-09-2014, an intelligence input was received by Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, IPS, Superintendent of Police, regarding the location of a training camp of a group of heavily armed insurgents of the banned CPI(Maoist) organization in the forest area near Daudaput village under Mathili PS of Malkangiri District, at a distance of about 75 KM from the district headquarters at Malkangiri. It was also confirmed from reliable sources that, the armed insurgents of the banned CPI(Maoist) outfit were planning to launch a major offensive against the security forces deployed in Malkangiri district. They were also planning to commit murder of innocent tribals in the name of police informers, in the wake of celebration of "Formation Week" of the banned CPI(Maoist) outfit. Accordingly, an Anti-Naxal operation was launched by the district police of Malkangiri in the above mentioned forest area in the early evening of 17-09-2014, observing all formalities and S.O.P. of operations. Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Malkangiri, led the police team comprising of total 18 members (including the leader) of District police of Malkangiri. Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, SP briefed the operational team thoroughly with special emphasis on the tactical aspects of the ensuing operation in a highly treacherous terrain, which was a known stronghold of Maoist insurgents. The police party took all tactical measures during the conduct of operation and left their vehicle at a distance of around 15 km from the suspected location of the Maoist camp. After debussing, the police party proceeded towards the target area tactically traversing through hilly terrain and heavy vegetation. When the police team was conducting a combing operation in and around the target area, that is the Daudaput forest area, they observed the presence of a group of 15-20 armed cadres including some female cadres near a water source. They were carrying automatic weapons and some were in olive green Naxal uniform. They had raised the CPI (Maoist) flag and were conducting a weapons-training program. When the police team moved closer to the group to observe the subversive activities perpetrated by the cadres of CPI (Maoist), the sentries spotted the police team and commenced unprovoked firing from automatic weapons. The police team immediately took cover and disclosed their identity and urged the Maoist insurgents to lay down their arms and surrender, in a loud and clear voice, in both Odia and Hindi language. However, the Maoist cadres continued firing by taking cover behind big boulders. They also lobbed grenades with the intention to kill the members of the police party. Three members of the operations party were injured in the grenade attack. The sentries of the Maoist group continued their aimed firing and provided cover fire to other members. Hence, in order to save their lives and in exercise of their right of private defence, the police party returned the fire in a controlled manner. As the Maoist insurgents were in an advantageous position, and as there was high possibility of flanking attack from the Maoist side, Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, SP divided the operational team into smaller teams and flanked the insurgents from both sides. Accordingly, the right flank team under the leadership of Hav Puturaj Kurumi and the left flank team under the leadership of Hav Santosh Juang proceeded to return the fire of the Maoists from the right side and left side respectively. Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, SP led the main assault team in a frontal challenge. Though frontal attack was very risky, he took the brave decision to do so, as it was otherwise difficult to counter the heavy firing from the Maoists hiding behind the cover of big boulders. The exchange of fire continued for about 45 minutes, in which the Maoist insurgents heavily fired upon all the three teams (i.e. the right flank, left flank and the main assault team) of the police party, as well as lobbed grenades on the main assault team. After about one hour, the firing from the Maoist side stopped. As it was already dark and there was every possibility of a second attack from the Maoist side, Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, SP ordered the teams to regroup on a nearby hillock. After the regrouping of all the three teams, the team sanitized the hillock and took night LUP on it after deploying four sentries with properly defined sentry rotation drill on the hillock. On the first light of the next day i.e. on 18-09-2014, the team conducted a thorough search of the area in which, they recovered the dead body of a Maoist cadre, who was later identified as Erra Madkami@ Lalu@ Prakash@ Sondi Dalei S/o Late Mangala Dalei of village Mangipalli near Potteru Basti under MV 79 PS. The dead Maoist cadre was an Area Committee Member leading the AOBSZC Tech team of CPI (Maoist) and the Government of Odisha had declared a cash reward of Rs 4,00,000/- (Four Lakh only) against him. The dead Maoist leader was involved in several cases of murder and arson registered in various police stations of Malkangiri district. Besides, upon thorough search of the area, the police party recovered a sten gun, three magazines of the sten gun with live rounds, one .303 rifle with magazine and live rounds, one .315 rifle with magazine and rounds, seven kitbags, Maoist literature and medicines.

This gallant and courageous exchange of fire is one of the most successful exchanges of fire with the Maoist insurgent groups in the AOBSZC area of CPI (Maoist). In this encounter, a dreaded ACM rank Maoist leader was killed and a huge cache of arms and ammunition was seized, giving a significant set back to the influence of CPI (Maoist) in the Malkangiri-Koraput border area. During the operation, the police team displayed exemplary bravery, courage and determination to move beyond the call of duty to overcome extreme adversities and serious terrain limitations against a better-positioned and numerically superior group of Maoist cadres without any collateral damage.

Gallant act of Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, IPS, SP

He put forth a classic instance of command and control and personal leadership during the entire course of the operation. Within a short duration of taking over the charge of Superintendent of Police of the district, he had developed an excellent network of human intelligence in a very difficult region such as the Malkangiri-Koraput border area. After receiving specific input about the movement of cadres of banned CPI (Maoist) in the area, he planned an A.N.O. in a very short time duration. Though the terrain was very difficult and the area was a known stronghold of Maoist insurgents, he chose to operate in a small team of eighteen highly motivated police personnel, in order to avoid exposure and unnecessary delay in launching the operation. During the combing operation, where threat to life was imminent at every step, he did not care forPART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) 569 his personal safety and himself, led the team from the front, while all the way motivating the team members. When the police team came under heavy firing from the Maoist side, he not only displayed a strong nerve and held the team together by marshaling his resources in an optimal manner for the safety of the team. He further planned a counter-offensive strategy immediately to face the numerically superior adversary. His plan to divide the police team into three small sub-teams i.e. right flank team, left side team and the main assault team, encircled the Maoist insurgents and severely restricted their chance of mounting a flanking attack on the police party. He, himself led the main assault team for a frontal challenge to a better- positioned and numerically superior enemy, despite severe terrain limitations and the risk of life involved in it. In the process he had exposed himself to enemy fire many times, which could have been fatal; however, but he held his nerve and led the assault group successfully. Following the exchange of fire, he regrouped the team and took a brave decision to take the night LUP in the core area itself, as there was high probability of the Maoist insurgents laying up a hasty ambush on the return path of the police team. He personally ensured the LUP area was sanitized and sentries are strategically positioned.

He played a vital role throughout the operations, be it acquiring such a pinpointed intelligence or the successful execution part of it. He had endangered his life several times during the course of the operation for a successful execution as well as ensuring safety of his team members.

Gallant act of Shri Puturaj Kurami, Havildar,

He provided qualitative support to the operational commander during planning and execution of the operation and displayed exemplary bravery when the situation warranted. On his own volition, he volunteered to be the commander of right flank and took his small team through very dangerous terrain to his designated position, braving severe firing from the Maoist side. When he came face to face with the attacking Maoist insurgents, he successfully countered them. In the process, he sustained grievous injuries on his person due to grenade attack from the Maoist side, yet he successfully engaged the Maoist insurgents ignoring his extreme physical pain. Due to his gallant effort and determination, the Maoist insurgents could not mount a flanking attack on the police team. He led his right flank team in a highly motivated manner and forced the Maoist insurgents to retrace deep inside the jungle.

Gallant act of Shri Santosh Junag, Hav

Throughout the operation, he had shown his great tactical ability and presence of mind in his role of scout of the operational party. It is his constant vigil during a very difficult and strenuous cross-country march, that the police party could be able to reach very close to the Maoist camp without being exposed. As a member of the assault team he had shown his excellent operational prowess in countering the frontal attack by the enemy. On the face of heavy firing, he did not lost his nerve but challenged the Maoist group in a decisive manner. Besides displaying raw courage and bravery during the operation, he acted as a perfect buddy pair to the operational commander Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, SP during the frontal attack. In the process he had exposed himself to danger many times; however, this did not deter him from shadowing his team commander, which speaks a lot about his loyalty and devotion along with exemplary valor and fearlessness.

Gallant act of Shri Surjeet Mandal, L/NK

He was an active member of the operational team and led the left flank team that encircled and engaged the Maoists in an effective counter fire, as a result the adversaries could not cause any damage to the police team despite their numerical superiority. In the process, he met with injury due to grenade attack from Maoist side that exposed him to life threatening danger. However, this did not deter him from performing his duty valiantly. He displayed great operational capability and presence of mind and also motivated his team members to face the adversaries without losing their nerve.

Gallant act of Gallantry Shri Prabhat Kumar Barada, CT

He was an active member of the left flank team, which effectively countered a flanking attack by the numerically superior and better-positioned enemy. He showed his great operational acumen as well as fighting ability during the attack by the Maoist insurgents. It is his aggressive maneuver during the course of exchange of fire that compelled the Maoist insurgents to retrace.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

In the early hours of 13/04/2014, an intelligence input was received by Inspector In-Charge of Narayanpatna Police Station that a group of heavily armed cadres of outlawed CPI (Maoist) is moving in the forest area of Palaput and Gadraguda villages under Narayanpatna P.S. Further intelligence received that above heavily armed Maoists are planning to attack some government establishments in highly Maoist-infested Narayanpatna town as well as to kill some innocent villagers branding them as Police Informers. Maoists were very furious with the villagers.

Because villagers casted their votes in large number in Parliamentary & Assembly Election-2014. It is pertinent to mention that outlawed CPI (Maoist) called for the total boycott of the election and had threatened local public for any type of participation in election process. On 13.4.2014, there was weekly market in Narayanpatna town being Sunday besides annual URS (annual function) of local Mazar where lot of Muslim devotees from other states were visiting to pay their respect. So after assessing the situation and in order to protect/prevent government properties and innocent lives, Superintendent of Police, Koraput directed Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Additional Superintendent of Police (operations), Koraput to plan an Anti-Naxal Operation along with District Police Personnel and I.I.C. Narayanpatna P.S. to nab the heavily armed cadres of outlawed CPI (Maoist). Operational Party of police reached at Narayanpatna (80 kms from District Headquarters, Koraput) travelling in tactical manner without getting exposed. After reaching there, Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput briefed operational party thoroughly with the special emphasis on Zero Co-lateral damage and minimum fire besides various tactical aspects of the ensuing operation and the dangers involved in it. After operational briefing, police party moved on foot to dense forest area of Palaput and Gadraguda villages (approximately 5-6 kms from Narayanpatna town) by tactically traversing through hills and dense bushy vegetation. ln the jungle, Police party occupied a strategic position to observe any suspected movement. At around 11 P.M., Police Party noticed some suspect movement in jungle. After very careful observation and by using Night Vision Device, Police Party found that a group of armed cadres of outlawed CPI (Maoist) is moving toward Narayanpatna town. With all security precautions, Police Personnel revealed their identities in loud voice as personnel of District Police, Koraput and asked them to surrender. Instead surrender; suspected Maoists started incriminate heavy firing at Police Personnel with the intention to kill them. Police Personnel took cover and again appealed in even louder voice to heavily armed Maoists to surrender. But Maoists kept on heavy firing at Police Personnel. In order to save their own lives, Police Personnel retaliated in very controlled manner. To kill the Police Personnel, heavily armed Maoists started encircling Police Party. On seeing this and to negate any possible flanking attack from Maoist side, Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput divided Police Party in three smaller groups and splintered to counter flanking attack of heavily armed Maoists who were raising slogans like "MAOWADI ZINDABAD, "LAAL SALAAM" and anti-government slogans to boost morale of their cadres. This Exchange of fire lasted for almost 30 minutes. After that firing from Maoist's side stopped. After waiting for some time, Police Party started search of the area in tactical manner. During search of the jungle area, Police Party found one male dead body, aging 35 years approximately. One Pistol, one bag and some fired cartridges were found near the dead body. During further search of the nearby area, Police Party found some incriminating articles like two country made SBML guns and Maoist literatures.

Other armed Maoists managed to escape under the cover fire and taking advantage of treacherous terrain and dark and dense forest. However blood stains in nearby area were suggesting that some more Maoists might have sustained injuries. Later on, dead Maoist was identified as Purno Hulukalsion Khatru s/o Late Jamri Huluk r/o Basanaput (Narayanpatna P.S.) of Koraput District. He was an armed cadre of Srikakulam-Koraput Joint Divisional Committee of outlawed CPI (Maoist) and was involved in several violent activities in the area including murders. Government of Odisha had declared cash reward of Rs. One Lakh on killed Maoist Cadre.

This classic and fine exchange of fire with armed insurgents is one of the most successful encounters in the AOB Special Zonal Committee in which one dreaded Maoist cadre killed who was expert in recruiting militia, back-bone of outlawed CPI (Maoist), besides recovery of cache of arms. The neutralization of above dreaded Maoist has definitely given a crucial blow to outlawed CPI (Maoist) organization in Odisha in general and in Narayanpatna area of Koraput district in particular and restored public confidence just after the General Election-2014 in which villagers casted their votes amid strong boycott call from outlawed CPI (Maoist). During the operation, Police personnel have shown bravery, courage,PART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) 571 determination, a sense of purpose and devotion towards duty to overcome extreme adversities and severe terrain limitations, in order to ensure success of the operation without causing any collateral damage.

Gallant act of CT Ganesh Behera

He had acted as buddy pair of Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl.S.P. (Operations), Koraput and put his life in grave danger in order to shadow his officer and to provide him accurate cover-fire whenever required. His refusal to cow down when he came face to face with some armed Maoists and forcing them to retreat, displays his raw bravery. Further, he again acted like a perfect buddy and shadowed his officer i.e. Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput while Police Party divided in three smaller groups to counter flanking attack of heavily armed Maoists who were firing heavily at Police personnel. CT Ganesh Behera never legged behind and abandoned his Superior i.e. Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput, even under heavy fire from Maoists' side. His extreme gallant act and exemplary loyalty toward his superior officers during the operation even when it could have cost his life.

Gallant act of Ct. Santanu Kumar Majhi,

He was handpicked by Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput for this highly risky operation. Being fully aware of high risk involved in such a highly precise Anti Naxal, Operation, he did not hesitate to participate. He provided able and qualitative support to operational commander in planning and execution of the operation. He, in the process of nabbing alined Maoists, went very closer to them by crawling for almost 100 meter. Later on, he assisted Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput in countering flanking attack of Maoists by splitting in three small groups by putting his life in grave danger. He even played a great gamble with his life as he led his small group by keeping himself in advance. It was a great display of selflessness though this single act could have put his life in utter jeopardy. However, his gamble paid-off and the possibility of flanking attack by the heavily armed Maoists could be negated. He had overcome several tactical challenges in order to ensure operational success.

Gallant act of CT Mohan Parja

CT Mohan Parja of District Police, Koraput was a member of this small operational party and from very beginning of the operation, he was aware of the grave risk of life involved in this highly precise operation in dense forest that too in a very remote area. But he did not hesitate and willfully became the part of the operational team. While combing in the dense forest, he moved very tactically and maneuvered the hostile terrain. He came to the rescue of CT Tarunisen Bisoi when he sustained splinter injuries and pulled him back to safe cover without thinking for his own life. It was great example of team- spirit. Lateron, while Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Addl. S.P. (operations), Koraput decided for highly risky step of dividing Police party in three smaller groups to counter flanking attack of heavily armed Maoists who were firing at Police Personnel, CT Mohan Parja requested to allow him to lead one of the such small group. Such a display of raw courage is an example to the present generation and an assurance for the bright future of the Police Organization.

In this encounter S/Shri Ganesh Behera, Constable, Santanu Kumar Majhi, Constable and Mohan Parja, Constable displayed conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

These awards are made for gallantry under Rule 4 (i) of the Rules governing the award of Police Medal and consequently carries with it the special allowance admissible under Rule 5, with effect from 13/04/2014.

On 04/03/2014, it was learnt from reliable sources that, a group of heavily armed cadres of CPI (Maoist) were conducting a training camp in the Munguluwalsa forest area under Pottangi police station limits and were planning to sabotage the process of General election-2014 in the region. Accordingly, a small team anti-Naxal operation was planned under the leadership of Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, IPS, Additional Superintendent of Police, Koraput and Shri Santosh Kumar Mall, Additional Superintendent of Police (Operations) Koraput along with eight commandos of district police. When the police team reached the forest area, the insurgents resorted to sudden unprovoked firing from automatic weapons. The police team divided into two flanks each under the commandership of one Additional S.P. and retaliated valiantly despite numerical disadvantage and severe terrain limitation. Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra, IPS led his team of five commandos and mounted an aggressive counter-offensive to thwart a flanking attack on the police. During the offensive, Shri Mahapatra, and CT Aditya Ranjan Dash had fought valiantly with utter disregard to their personal safety. Shri Santosh Mall led his team braving heavy fire and during the process, one of his commandos Hav Jitendra Kumar Dash received splinter injuries on his person. Despite this, Shri Mall marshaled his resources and led his team from the front and was able to contain the Maoists.

Because of gallant retaliation from police, the Maoist group escaped under the cover of thick foliage and was in turn chased by the police. Two Maoist cadres took shelter in a thatched house nearby and started indiscriminate firing to facilitate their escape. As the holed up insurgents were impeding police maneuvers, the team leaders decided to conduct a risky room intervention operation to neutralize them. Shri Mitrabhanu Mahapatra led the room intervention operation, followed by Shri Santosh Mall and CT Aditya Ranjan Dash. The successful yet risky room intervention operation resulted in the neutralization of two Division Commanders of CPI (Maoist) namely, Eppe Swami@ Narendra and Malla Sanjeeva @ Dumbri, on whom the Government of Odisha had declared five-lakh rupees reward each.

During the operation, Police personnel had displayed bravery, courage, determination and devotion to duty to overcome extreme adversities and severe terrain limitations against a tactically better placed adversary and ensured success without any collateral damage.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

Acting on an intelligence input, an anti-Naxal Operation was launched in the highly naxal infested area of Sunabeda forest. The Operational party consisted of SI (Armed) Himanshu Sekhar Rath & 14 SOG commandos led by Inspector Niranjan Patta. On 14.04.2014 at about 0100 hrs the operational team left the camp marching cross-country.

Since the area is a stronghold of naxals, they came to know about the movement and laid ambush for the approaching police party about which the police party was completely unaware. At about 0745 hrs on 14.04.2014, when the team was passing through a passage between hills, a probable ambush site, Insp. Niranjan Patta from his experience of such risky passages, ordered the team to move tactically taking all precautions. At that time, suddenly naxals started firing on the police party, and fortunately all of team member survived this initial jolt and instantly the whole team came into action & took tactical positions behind natural cover.

The naxals were in a dominating position. Insp. Niranjan Patta and others observed a group of about 40 naxals in naxal uniform carrying arms like AK 47, SLR, and .303. From the strength and types of arms being carried by the naxals, Insp. Patta assessed that the military platoon of naxals along with members of Mainpur –Nuapada divisional committee have ambushed them. Since Naxals were in an advantageous position at the hill tops, they were firing effectively on the police party which was at the downhill. Suddenly Insp. Niranjan Patta noticed that a group of 8-10 naxals were advancing from the right flank, firing indiscriminately. They also lobbed two grenades towards police party which caused splinter injuries to Insp. Niranjan Patta and SI (Armed) Himanshu Sekhar Rath but still they continued to hold their position & fired fearlessly. There was every chance of the small police party to be overrun and butchered by the aggressively fighting naxals with sophisticated weapons. Insp. Niranjan Patta realized that firing from the positions behind the available natural covers would not deter the advancing naxals. After a quick evaluation of the situation he commanded his party to advance while firing towards naxals. He led the team from the front. Without caring for his life and showing unmatched bravery, he came in the open to fire effectively and moved while firing towards the advancing naxals. The naxals were not prepared for the aggressively advancing police party and became defensive by taking covers and started retreating. Motivated by Insp. Niranjan Patta; SI(A) Himanshu Sekhar Rath , CT A. Mohanty and CT S.R. Rana also came out in the open to fire effectively. All the four chased and fired at the escaping naxals to a distance of about 500 meters while others gave them covering fire. However the naxals managed to escape taking cover of hilly terrain.

During the search one dead body of a uniformed lady naxal, later identified as Moti Madkami, was found. She was a senior hardcore cadre and informers had informed that she was working in the area since last 4-5 years. Apart from that one .303, one pistol ,ammunitions, tiffin bombs, kitbags, literature etc. were recovered. The bullet marks on kit bags and information gathered from the locals later on indicated that more naxals had sustained fatal bullet injuries in the operation.

In the exchange of fire; Insp. Niranjan Patta & SI(A) Himanshu Sekhar Rath sustained splinter injuries and they were taken to Komna hospital after the encounter. Doctor termed their injuries as minor and discharged them after giving first aid treatment.

It is obvious from the above that Insp Niranjan Patta had displayed a rare act of gallantry in the operation. He was the person who first came in the open to fire effectively irrespective of the fact that any bullet from the naxal side may have hit him but he still took the risk to save his police team from being overrun by naxals.

The acts of gallantry in the face of imminent and grave threat to their lives, by these four personnel saved the lives of their team mates. This also resulted in a huge set back to the naxals as their dreaded military platoon suffered huge losses in terms of a cadre, weapons and loss of morale.

Recovery :

1. One .303 rifle

2. Five .303 Live Ammunitions

3. Six .303 Tracer Ammunitions

4. One Country Made Pistol

5. Codex – 10 Mtrs

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

On 27/07/2015, three foreign trained terrorists, clad in Army uniforms, armed with highly sophisticated weapons/equipment, forcibly entered into the complex of Police Station Dinanagar (Gurdaspur district) at about 5 AM and started indiscriminate firing on the security personnel present in the complex.

In the first flush of fire outside the gate of the Police Station building and the lobbing of a hand grenade through the sentry post, PHG Rajinder Kumar, who was on sentry duty at the Police Station gate, got seriously injured. Responding with great alertness to the situation, HC Ram Lal, the night Moharar Head Constable (Night MHC), closed and bolted the entrance gate of the Police Station building. While doing so, he managed to pull the injured PHG Rajinder Kumar inside the Police Station building, and later carried him (PHG Rajinder Kumar) to the roof of the Police Station.

When the terrorists were barred from entering the Police Station building, they (terrorists) entered the nearby building towards the rear of the Police Station and started firing indiscriminately. Despite the injuries suffered by him while closing the Police Station gate to stop the terrorists from entering the Police Station, MHC Ram Lal returned the fire thereby almost single-handedly engaging the terrorists who continued heavy firing.

HC Ram Lal showed exemplary alertness, courage and bravery in responding to the situation even at grave risk to his life. Thus, he not only managed to stop the terrorists from entering the Police Station building but he also saved the precious lives of a large number of police personnel, their families and children staying in the Police Station complex. Had the terrorists entered the Police Station building, they would have got access to the huge stock of the arms & ammunition available in the Police Station Armoury. HC Ram Lal sustained large number of bullet injuries and had to be evacuated to Hospital. He had to undergo multiple surgeries (5-7) over a period of over three months in an Amritsar hospital.

Subsequently, Police reinforcements reached Dinanagar Police Station, including SP and other officers. Meanwhile, SSP Gurdaspur also reached the spot and assumed command of the operation. As directed by him, all GOs and SHOs of the district Gurdaspur reached PS Dinanagar. He strengthened the cordon outside the Police Station complex, and evacuated the families living in the quarters in the Police Station complex. Acting under his Command, the police force engaged the terrorists through heavy retaliatory fire from all sides during exchange of fire, 2 bullets hit the left arm and left side of abdomen of Inspector Balbir Singh, State Special Operation cell, Amritsar.

On account of sustained retaliating fire by police force from tactical positions, the terrorists were forced to stay holed up inside the building they had occupied initially, and could not manage to escape into the thick-populated urban area of Dinanagar town. When it was decided that the final assault should be mounted at the building in which the terrorists were holed-in, and the operation be completed before sunset, to prevent the terrorists from escape under the cover of darkness, SSP Gurdaspur led the policemen in advancing towards the hide-out of the terrorists. Without caring for the heavy and continuous volley of fire from the heavily armed terrorists even at grave risk to his life on many occasions during this operation, SSP Gurdaspur in a rare display of conspicuous gallantry and dedication to duty kept the morale of the force up during the long operation.

It was the presence of mind and courage of gallant police officers, that terrorists were forced to remain holed up within the building, else it could have resulted in the casualties of many police personnel, their family as well as residents of Dinanagar town.

On coming to know of the terrorist attack at Dinanagar Police Station, Head Constable Ram Lal who was the first official to respond to the terrorist attack showed immense courage, alertness and devotion to duty, even at grave risk to his life by closing the police station gate, pulling the injured sentry inside and despite of bullet injuries received during this action took position and returned fire thereby preventing the terrorist from entering the police station building and pinning them down in the adjacent building.

On 5th Aug 2015, at about 0420 hrs, BSF convoy of Kashmir Frontier consisting of 21 vehicles (Light Vehicles-02, Medium Vehicles-3, Heavy Vehicles-9 and Buses-07), carrying 522 BSF personnel (466 passengers and 56 guards) left transit camp Jammu for Srinagar under command of Shri N K Sharma, AC.

The road has a number of bends and curves hence the visibility was restricted. At about 0730 hrs, when the convoy was negotiating a sharp road turn at Narsoo Nala, near village Simrauli, 17 Km from Udhampur, a lone militant armed with automatic weapon suddenly appeared before BSF bus bearing No. JK-01K-3851, driven by Constable (Driver) Daljit Singh of 2nd Battalion BSF. The bus was at 15th position in the convoy. Fourteen vehicles were moving ahead of and six vehicles were moving behind the bus maintaining 100-500 mtr distance depending upon movement of civil vehicles and traffic conditions. Forty-four Jawans coming from leave were sitting in the said bus. Constable Rocky of 59 Battalion BSF was escorting the bus as guard.

The militant initially targeted the front side of the bus, as a result of which left tyre of bus was deflated and Constable (Driver) Daljit Singh received grievous bullet injures. In spite of this, he did not lose his control over the bus and brought it to a safe halt avoiding collision in hilly terrain thereby demonstrated excellent presence of mind. The militant then opened a heavy volley of fire on the occupants of bus and in the process moved around the stationary bus firing relentlessly from all around. In the meantime, another militant taking position in high ground on left side also opened indiscriminate fire on the bus, causing grievous injures to the occupants of the bus.

Constable Rocky of 59 Battalion BSF received grievous bullet injures and started bleeding profusely. However, Constable Rocky, without caring for his injures, effectively engaged the militants by firing bullets from his personal weapon. He was also constantly shouting and asking the occupants of the bus to duck down and remain low to avoid causalities.

Constable Subhendu Roy of 2nd Battalion BSF, who was also travelling as a passenger, kept informing the position of the militant to Constable Rocky. When the militant was trying to enter in the bus forcefully, Constable Subhendu Roy swiftly rushed towards front gate of bus and tightly held the door to prevent entry of militant resultantly the militant opened fire on Constable Subhendu Roy and injured him grievously.

In spite of grievous bullet injuries, Constable Subhendu Roy denied entry of militant in the bus. Then the militant tried to enter the bus through rear gate. But Constable Godhraj Meena, 18 Bn BSF, who was sitting in rear portion of the bus, amid heavy volley of fire, immediately rushed towards rear gate and stood firmly to prevent entry of the militant. The militant fired at him but he did not allow the militant to enter into the bus, in spite of bullet injuries. In the meantime, Constable Rocky was continuously engaging the militant. When the militant was in the process of lobbing a grenade in the bus, Constable Rocky rushed to the door and killed the militant with effective fire.

Meanwhile, the militant who was taking position in high ground on left side hills, managed to flee from the site. He held some civilians captive but was later overpowered and accosted by civilians. He is in police custody.

Constable (Driver) Daljit Singh exhibited presence of mind and brought the vehicle to a safe halt avoiding collision of vehicle in hilly terrain thereby saved precious lives of Jawans.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

41 Battalion BSF was deployed in a hyper sensitive Naxals infested area of District-Kanker (Chhattisgarh).

On 21 Jan 2014, at about 0800 hrs, on specific information about movement of armed Maoist, a party under leadership of Shri Balbir Singh, Second-in-Command alongwith 3 Officers, 3 Subordinate Officers and 36 Other Ranks (including one SI and one CT from Chhattisgarh Police) left for conducting special joint operation in general area of Village- Mirchibeda. Topographically the area is hilly and densely covered with forest. The whole area is interspersed with hillocks and dense forest having number of dominating features, making it an ideal place for ambushes.

Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC assessed the threats and took all safety measures. The party was divided in groups. Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC was leading 'Head Hunters Team". Constable Charan Singh was deputed in buddy pair with Constable Durjadhan Pal and Constable Anil Kumar as buddy pair with Constable Lala Oraon to provide support to 'Head Hunters Team". At about 1030 hrs, when the party was approximately 300-350 mtrs short of spring area, suddenly the lead section came under heavy volume of intense and indiscriminate fire of small arms from Naxals hiding on high ground under cover of thick vegetation. Shri Balbir Singh, 2IC and his team immediately took position behind the trees and boulders and retaliated the Naxals fire. Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC directed Constable Charan Singh, Constable Durjadhan Pal, Constable Anil Kumar and Constable Lala Oraon to change their position to give befitting reply to Naxals, who were dominating the situation. They crawled for about 15 meters, took safe position and fired burst of small arms. On this, the Naxals opened heavy volley of fire in the direction of Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC. Seeing the situation, Shri Balbir Singh 2-1C directed buddy pair of Constable Charan Singh and Constable Durjadhan Pal to crawl upwards from left direction and buddy pair of CT Anil Kumar and CT Lala Oraon to crawl upward from right direction to give covering fire. In utter disregard to their lives and personal safety, both buddy pairs moved ahead to take the designated position facing the barrage of bullets. Simultaneously, Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC started moving forward. The Sections adopted assaulting formation and charged the Naxals, firing heavily to break their will and evict them from their positions. One of the Naxals was hit by bullet as he immediately took position behind a log. This created havoc amongst the well-entrenched Naxals and made them run for their lives. Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC ordered flanking sections led by Shri Arun Kumar, DC and Sh N C Pargaien, DC to advance upwards from both sides of hillocks to cover the flanks. The Naxals stopped firing and after getting no reaction from Naxals for 15-20 minutes, a thorough search of site was carried out and observed that Naxals had managed to escape towards thick jungle.

During searching two dead bodies of unidentified Naxals, 3 muzzle loaded SBML guns, Axe-3 Nos., Knives- 04 Nos., Empty fired case of AK 47 series- 10 Nos., Electric Detonator-2 Nos., Empty fired cases of 5.56 mm, INSAS- 21 Nos. Explosive box- 3 Nos. and other miscellaneous items were recovered from the site. Later on Chhattisgarh Police identified them as hard core Naxals Namely Somaru Ram Komara (25 years) and Tul Singh (40 years), who were operative in the areas of Koyalibeda for the last 7/8 years and were involved in various heinous crimes. It was also learnt that 4 Naxals were grievously injured in said operation.

The gallant action and raw courage displayed by Shri Balbir Singh, 2-IC, Constable Charan Singh, Constable Durjadhan Pal, Constable Anil Kumar and Constable Lala Oraon was pivotal in dislodging Naxals from their position. And eliminated two hard core naxalites.

In this encounter S/Shri Balbir Singh, Second-In-Command, Charan Singh, Constable, Anil Kumar, Constable, Lala Oraon, Constable and Durjadhan Pal, Constable displayed conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

These awards are made for gallantry under Rule 4 (i) of the Rules governing the award of Police Medal and consequently carries with it the special allowance admissible under Rule 5, with effect from 21/01/2014.

ConstablePART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) 579 Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

Based on an input about the presence of Maoists in Dumari Nala and Pachrukhiya forest area of PS Imamganj, Banke Bazaar, Distt :— Gaya and PS Madanpur, Distt :— Aurangabad, Bihar, an operation was planned and launched on 23/1/2014 by joint troops of CRPF and State Police. CRPF troops consisted one team i.e. D/153 under command Shri Abhijeet Nath, Asst. Comdt, 04 teams of 205 CoBRA and 02 Coys of 159 Bn while State Police component had 02 teams of STF and State Police. The troops were divided into parties and each party was given a specific area to comb.

Accordingly, one party i.e. D/153 under command Shri Abhijeet Nath, Asst. Comdt. was combing the area from Chilmitola to Langorahi village in Chakrabandha Jungle area. As the troops were negotiating a hillock near village Langorahi, Maoists hidden on the hilltop and behind boulders opened indiscriminate fire at them. CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary was the scout and team leading him retaliated immediately without caring for the flying bullets and moved towards it in a bold and courageous manner. The maoists had strategically placed the ambush and were occupying dominating position behind secured covers. CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary displaying utter disregard to his personal safety started moving uphill so as to reach nearer to maoists and launch a counter-attack. In the pursuit to reach nearer to the maoists amid intense firing one of the bullet hit CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary. Blood began to ooze from the wound and the constable withered in pain. On seeing the valour of this daredevil, the other team members too followed him and launched an attack on the Maoists. It seemed that the maoists were waiting for this moment as another group of maoists hiding in the adjacent hill also opened fire at the troops. CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary was caught in the fire from two directions and an imminent threat of life loomed over him. The commander immediately divided his troops and launched an attack on the second group of Maoists. At this point, a call either to fight for win or retreat to save his own life was needed to be taken by CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary. Putting his life in danger for a purpose, CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary declined his evacuation from the battlefield and instead advanced at the Maoists. His advance infused fresh vigour on the troops and to match the bravery of the injured trooper, the team members made a concerted effort and advanced using tactics of fire and move. The concerted effort and tactical use of ground resulted in injuries to some of the Maoists and their morale began to shatter. Finding that despite sustaining injuries the troops are advancing and the gap between them is getting closer, the Maoists found it safe to flee from the area and save their lives. The troops chased the fleeing maoists but the maoists fled taking advantage of terrain and from their pre-decided escape routes.

During the operation and counter-ambush drill, CT/GD Arvind Kumar Chaudhary despite being grievously hurt overcame the excruciating pain and rained havoc at the well-entrenched Maoists. His dare-devilry attitude not only saved the lives of whole group falling prey to the ambush but also forced the maoists to withdraw with defeat.

In this encounter Shri Arvind Kumar Chaudhary, Constable displayed conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

This award is made for gallantry under Rule 4 (i) of the Rules governing the award of Police Medal and consequently carries with it the special allowance admissible under Rule 5, with effect from 23/01/2014.

On 12/01/2015, based on an int input about presence of large number of Maoists in Chiraiyatand jungle under PS Chouparan, Distt. Hazaribag, a two days and one night special, operation code named "VIJAY" was launched at 0300 hours by joint troops' of CRPF and State Police. They were formed into three teams. The teams were given three specific areas to search. The teams after surreptitiously entering the area in the dark began the search at the break of dawn. Accordingly, Team No. 3 commanded by Sh. Ajay Pal, Asstt. Comdt. was combing the jungle patch near village Bukar. At around 1010 hrs, the team while negotiating a hillock came under intense fire of Maoists perched at the top of it. The sudden indiscriminate and heavy fire aimed at the troops forced them to look for covers. It was a miraculous escape especially for the scouts namely Ct/GD Dalbir Singh, Ct/GD Ashwani Kumar and Shri. Ajay Pal, Asst. Comdt. and other troops. None got injured from the barrage of bullets. The enemy was not visible due to dense foliage and his advantageous position at the hilltop. But from the volume of fire it could be well gauged that they were in good number. Sh. Ajay Pal, AC finding his team in disadvantageous position and under grave threat to life ordered it to open fire in the general direction from where the fire was coming. Further he divided his team into two and ordered the second small team to attack the Maoists from left flank. The second team consisting of Ct/GD Vikash Pradhan, Ct/GD Puran Kumar and Ct/GD Pramod Kumar Saroj as scouts despite of heavy volume of fire moved out of the secure positions and advanced to the left flank and engaged the Maoists. As the Maoists got engaged with the second team, Sh. Ajay Pal, Asst. Comdt. Along with Ct/GD Dalbir and Ct/GD Ashwani Kumar moved ahead and came closer to the Maoists position. As they reached near, they noticed that some Maoists were fleeing away from the area while others were constantly firing at the troops from behind the trees and other secured covers. The three daredevils without caring for their own lives moved out of covers and opened heavy fire at the fleeing Maoists. The intense fire yielded result and one maoist was seen falling due to bullet injuries. On noticing that the three of the troopers had reached near and soon others would follow, the Maoists concentrated their fire at them coupled with lobbing of grenades. The three daredevils on receiving the barrage of bullets and grenades swing into action and moved behind covers while retaliating to the fire. As the Maoists again concentrated their fire towards the main team, the second small team members mainly Ct/GD Vikash Pradhan, Ct/GD Puran Kumar and Ct/GD Pramod Kumar Saroj moved further ahead and opened fire at the Maoists hiding behind covers. The concentrated fire of the two teams resulted in killing of a maoist who was firing from behind a tree with his automatic weapon: The accurate fire and courageous act from two directions dented the morale of the Maoists and they also began to flee one after other while firing at the troops. Seeing the fleeing Maoists, all six brave troopers who were at lead, without caring for the bullets aimed at them, came out of their covers and charged at the Maoists. Their concentrated daredevil effort again yielded result and one more Maoist was killed. Some Maoists got injured in the close gun fight but they managed to flee taking advantage of dense foliage and terrain.

After the firing subsided the area was searched and dead bodies of three maoists namely Arjun Yadav @ Piyaju, S/O Late Bhola Yadav, Age-44 years (approx), Village -Bataspuri Police station - Atti, Distt.Gaya (Bihar), Suresh Yadav @ Chandan, Age- 44 years (approx), S/O Late Ramratan Yadav, Village Mirganj Police Station Paraya, Distt.Gaya, (Bihar) and Manorajan Prajapati, Age-30 years (approx), S/O Late Keshar Prajapati, Village Simwa, Police Station Raffiganj, Distt.

Despite presence of more number of naxals, CT/GD Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma and HC/GD Fayaz Hussain pounced upon them and caught hold of one naxal each. Immediately naxals started incessant firing and as a result one bullet hit CT Dakhija, Murmu of Jharkhand police. CT/GD Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma saw one naxal firing and running. Due to large-number: of civilians in the fair, he chose to chase the fleeing naxal over firing and despite being alone CT/GD Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma without caring for his own life chased the fleeing naxal. When he approached near him, the naxal fired upon him. Giving a toss to him, CT/GD Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma retaliated to fire with fire and pounced upon him to disarm and overpower. Meanwhile he saw another naxal firing in close vicinity. CT/GD Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma immediately took position, moved towards the said naxal and retaliated the fire keeping in view the huge public gathering in the fair, but the said naxal however managed to escape under the cover of large gathering and darkness.

After briefing, the joint troops were to reassemble at pillar No. 239 near Hehegara Railway station. The troops of 112 Bn CRPF reached at pillar No. 239 early in the morning and had to wait for the troops of 134 Bn, CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar which were coming from Daltonganj by train as the train to be boarded by troops of 134 Bn, CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar, was running late. However, the troops of 134 Bn and Jharkhand Jaguar reached at pillar No. 239 and the combined troops under overall command of Shri Ram Palat, 2-I/C, 112 Bn, CRPF reorganized at Hehegara and as per strategy moved towards the target area.

An information of kidnapping of 04 Panchayat Rojgar Sewak of Pirtand Block, Distt.-Giridih was received by 22 Bn CRPF on 26/01/2014. The input further suggested that the kidnapping was executed by Ajay Mahto, a dreaded maoist commander and member of Jharkhand. Regional Committee of Maoists. An urgent action for release of abductees was required as their lives were in extreme danger. To hunt the maoists in Parasnath Hills, the suspected area of hideout, with dense forest cover and rugged terrain, an operation codenamed "TALASH-I" was planned jointly by DIG (Ops) Hazaribag, Commandant-7th Bn CRPF, Commandant 154 Bn CRPF and S.P. Giridih. As the area to be search was huge, four teams were formed and each team was given two targets to hit which were suspected hideouts of Maoists. Without wasting any time, the teams were launched on the night of 26/01/2014 only. Strike Team No. 3 was commanded by Sh. K S V Balakrishan, Asst. Comdt. and SI/GD Sushil Kumar, Ct/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar and Ct/GD Badal Roy were the scouts leading the team. After navigating whole -night in the dense jungle and rugged terrain this strike team reached near its first target before dawn. As the visibility improved, the team launched the search but contact with maoists could not be established. After it, the team moved ahead to attack the second hideout. The second suspected hideout was on a hill top with dense -.vegetation. The team reached at the base of the hill at around 1345 hrs and moved uphill cautiously. Hardly had the team moved few paces ahead, the maoists perched at the hilltop opened heavy fire at it. The team retaliated to the fire and took position. The commander ordered his team to advance adopting tactics of fire and move. As the scouts namely SI/GD Sushil Kumar, Ct/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar and Ct/GD Badal Roy crawled ahead and they noticed that the area ahead had been mined with series of IEDs.

To further move ahead under heavy fire and launch an assault at the maoists, it was imperative to make a passage through the series of IEDs. The scouts under command SI/GD Sushil Kumar took the responsibility on themselves and taking risk of their lives snapped the connectivity of IEDs. As the team moved ahead using the passage created, the maoists noticed the breach of their defense and initiated the IEDs. The IEDs till which the initiating charge reached got blasted but it could not do any major harm to the troops. Enthused by the success of breaking the defense and to prevent the escape, the scouts daringly advanced and charged at the maoists. In the bold and daring assault of the scouts some of the Maoists got injured. As the scouts moved further ahead in the charged environment, a series of blasts took place which rocked the whole area and dust and fumes engulfed it. The maoists had cleverly planted IEDs in layers ahead of their hideout so that even if one layer is breached another could be detonated. The blasts took a heavy toll as the scouts got seriously injured while other 11 received splinter injuries. But the scouts had the heart of steel and were not the ones to allow the injuries take over their determination. Though the blasts had blown off one foot each of SI/GD Sushil Kumar and CT/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar and severely maimed the back of CT/GD Badal Roy, the three held to their weapons and overcoming the excruciating pain fired at the maoists. The maoists on noticing that most of the troopers were injured moved ahead for final kill and snatching of weapons. Noticing the advance of maoists, CT/GD Badal Roy crawled to a pit nearby and took position in it while SI/GD Sushil Kumar and CT/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar crawled behind the boulders and took position. The three then rained heavy fire at the advancing maoists which forced them to halt their advance. The daredevilry attitude and counter-attack held the maoists at bay till the other troopers at back overcame the shock and realized the intention of maoists. The rear troopers soon supported the brave and trapped scouts at front forcing the maoists to alter their plan and opt to retreat. The troops advanced and reached till the hideout and -found the four abductees tied there. Though, the maoists managed to flee but not before sustaining injuries and losing to the grit, valour and determination of the injured troopers. The injured were evacuated from the battlefield but CT/GD Badal Roy breathed his last during evacuation and attained martyrdom. SI/GD Sushil Kumar and CT/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar were admitted at Appolo Hospital, Ranchi where their one foot each was amputated.

During the operation, despite sustaining serious injuries in the IED blast and his body totally maimed, CT/GD Badal Roy overcame the excruciating pain and counter attacked the maoists. He held to his weapon and held the maoists at bay who were advancing for final kill and looting of weapons. For the lives of his troops and for the lives of the abducted civilian, the braveheart sacrificed his own life. Such acts of selfless sacrifice are rarely heard of. Similarly SI/GD Sushil Kumar and CT/GD Ajay Manohar Devrekar displayed exemplary courage during the operrlion wherein they first neutralized the IEDs planted by the maoists and then launched an attack at them. Though their legs were blown off in the subsequent IED blast they held their weapons and ground and stopped the advance of maoists who were moving ahead for final kill and looting of weapons. Their act of bravery not only saved the lives of their colleagues and civilians but also thwarted the ill-design of maoists of snatching the weapons.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

One platoon of E/121 Bn is accommodated in two barracks located at the first floor of the building of PS Rajbagh, Distrist Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, for Counter-Terrorist operations. On 20th March 2015, 02 heavily armed foreign terrorists (suspected JeM cadres) clad in Army uniform came to the main gate of the Police station along with three abducted civilians and requested the Sentry of State Police to open the gate. On enquiry they introduced themselves to be from Army and said that they had come to hand over three suspects. The Sentry opened the gate and allowed them in. No sooner did the militants enter the premises of the Police Station, that they opened indiscriminate fire and gunned down the sentry and one of the hostages. The other hostages managed to ran outside and survive. After gunning down the sentry, the militants aimed their fire towards the main building and simultaneously lobbed grenades. A sentry of CRPF namely CT/GD Pritam Paul positioned at the corridor of the 1st floor, overlooking the activities outside, immediately opened fire at the terrorists. On receiving the fire, the militants rushed towards the main entrance of the building firing indiscriminately. As the militants became out of the sight, CT/GD Pritam Paul rushed to the barracks and alerted all. Thereafter, he took his position near the stairs. After being alerted, CT/GD Rakesh Kumar, CT/GD Raj Kanwar, CT/GD Satish Kumar and CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao rushed out of the barrack to take on the terrorists and took positions near the stairs. To further strengthen their attack and to keep an eye on the activities outside, CT Satish Kumar asked CT Pritam Paul to move to the roof of the building. The terrorists finding no one at the ground floor moved towards the first floor using indiscriminate fire. CT/GD Rakesh Kumar, CT/GD Raj Kanwar, CT/GD Satish Kumar and CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao immediately retaliated the fire and stopped their advance. A fierce gun fight at a distance of less than 10 meters took place. The terrorists to gain entry at the first floor lobbed 3 grenades simultaneously, the blasts of which formed a smoke cover and inflicted injuries on CT/GD Raj Kanwar, CT/GD Satish Kumar and CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao. Of the three, CT Satish Kumar who was at front suffered severe splinter injuries. Despite being injured, the four daredevils continued their fight very bravely without caring for their lives. Terrorists taking advantage of the smoke cover moved ahead firing indiscriminately which resulted in fatal bullet injuries to CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao who was supporting CT Satish Kumar at front. Despite sustaining serious injuries, CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao and CT/GD Satish Kumar held to their positions and after coming face to face with the terrorists fired and gunned down one of the terrorists. The second terrorist seeing the fate of his accomplish fled back to ground floor and took position inside a room. As the fire stopped for a while CT/GD Rakesh Kumar pulled his three injured troopers inside the barrack and asked others to give them first-aid. After evacuating the injured he again went back to his position to stop the entry of terrorist on first floor. After waiting for some time, the terrorist again made a bid to gain entry on the first floor but the brave retaliation by CT/GD Rakesh Kumar forced him to fall back to his position. CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao and CT/GD Satish Kumar later succumbed to their injuries.

Immediately, on receipt of information, Shri Pawan Kumar Dy. Comdt. 121 Bn who was present at Battalion Headquarter reached at the place of incident along with his QAT. After assessing the situation and gaining the information about the terrorists, he planned the evacuation of his injured and trapped troopers while simultaneously launching an attack at the holed up terrorist. He himself took position in a morcha near the main gate to engage the terrorist while ordering his QAT personnel to evacuate the trapped troopers from the back side of the building through window. CT/GD Rakesh Kumar, who was inside the building ensured that all the troopers are evacuated from the building and was the last one to move out. After evacuation, Sh. Pawan Kumar, Dy. Comdt. along with his intrepid troopers embarked on a Bullet Proof bunker and ordered the driver to take it close to the Police Station building to launch the final assault. The terrorist fired heavily at the approaching bunker and lobbed grenades but his intense fire could not dent the spirit and valour of Sh. Pawan Kumar, Dy. Comdt. On reaching close to the window of the room in which terrorist was hiding, he fired grenades and tear smoke munitions which compelled the terrorist to move out of his cover. As the terrorist rushed out of his cover firing indiscriminately, Sh. Pawan Kumar, Dy. Comdt. immediately gunned him down with his sharp and aimed fire.

During the operation, the valiant troopers namely Sh. Pawan Kumar, Dy. Comdt., CT/GD Rakesh Kumar, CT/GD Satish Kumar and CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sarjerao fought from the front and neutralized two heavily armed foreign terrorists. But for the efforts of CT/GD Rakesh Kumar, CT/GD Satish Kumar and CT/GD Mohite Suraj Sirje Rao, the terrorists wouldPART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) 585 have succeeded in entering the first floor of the building and rained havoc on the troops present there.

Due to the efforts of especially the martyrs, the terrorists were neutralized and their plan of heavy casualties or taking of hostages was foiled.

Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded

On 03/01/2014 a reliable input about the movement of maoists in the hilly and forested area of Gidheshwar Pahar in Distt: Jamui, Bihar was received by 215 Bn CRPF. On the input an operation codenamed "Murli" was planned and launched by the battalion along with the troops of 207 CoBRA. Four joint teams were formed of which two each were put under the command of Shri Umesh Kumar, Asst. Comdt. and Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Asst. Comdt. The teams surreptitiously left the base camp in the wee hours of the morning of 04/01/2014 and entered the dense jungle before the crack of dawn. A thorough search of the jungle was conducted but the contact with maoists was not established. The teams then took LUP in the jungle during the night. On 05/01/2014, the teams again launched the search and moved towards Pathak Chak Dam through hilly terrain and dense jungle. The teams moved in parallel formation coordinating their move through wireless communication. At586 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 28, 2016 (JYAISTHA 7, 1938) [PART I—SEC. 1 about 1315 hrs, as the team to the extreme right under command Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Asst. Comdt. was negotiating a hillock came under sudden and intense fire of the maoists present at the top. The team immediately took position and retaliated. A fierce encounter at close distance took place. Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Asst. Comdt. immediately conveyed the location of the maoists to other teams and ordered them to cover the area from behind and prevent the escape. Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Asst. Comdt. then advanced towards the maoists positions along with his small group of intrepid soldiers while ordering the remaining troopers to give support fire. As this group crawled ahead, the maoists opened heavy fire aimed at them and blasted IEDs planted for their defense. The group got engulfed in the barrage of bullets and dust and smoke filled the area around rendering any further move impossible. At this life threatening situation also the commander did not lose his cool and composure and ordered Shri Umesh Kumar, Asst. Comdt. to launch an attack from behind the maoists. Shri Umesh Kumar, Asst. Comdt., on receiving the orders, advanced close to maoists positions from behind along with his brave soldiers and launched the attack. To counter the attack, the maoists opened heavy fire at them coupled with lobbing of grenades. But the blasting of grenades and heavy fire could not deter the bravehearts and without caring for their own lives they kept firing at the maoists. As the maoists opened second fighting front, Shri. Ajeet Kumar, Asst. Comdt. advanced ahead along with his buddy namely Ct/GD M Mani towards the maoists positions. The daredevils crawled ahead amid intense fire throwing all precautions in air and launched a scathing attack at the maoists present behind secured covers. Likewise, Shri Umesh Kumar, Asst. Comdt. also moved ahead along with his buddy namely Ct/GD Anuraj T. and launched a fierce attack. The fierce attack from two directions yielded result and some of the maoists suffered severe bullet injuries. Though the maoists were firing heavily to stop the advance of the troops but the determination, dedication and morale of these brave troopers were also flying high. Their only aim at that time was to hit their target, come what may. Unmindful of their personal safety they continued the advance in a bid to reach closer to the maoists positions. The multi-directional attack from the brave troopers cornered the maoists. The maoists soon realized that they could not longer sustain the fury of the brave troopers and started fleeing from the area under cover of indiscriminate fire. The operation party, on seeing the fleeing Maoists, moved out of their covers, without caring for the bullets, chased the Maoists and fired at them. With their accurate fire they gunned down a maoist and inflicted injuries on others. The troops chased the maoists for some distance but the maoists managed to flee taking advantage of dense jungle and hilly terrain. During the search, a dead body of maoist with huge quantity of arms and ammunitions and other items i.e. one 303 rifle with 81 rounds, one magazine, one maoist uniform, one bag pack, one ammunition pouch, maoist literature and other daily used items were recovered. Lots of blood stains were also noticed in the area suggesting severe injuries sustained by the maoists. From the area of encounter three suspected cadres were also apprehended. It was later confirmed through interceptions that during the encounter five maoists were neutralized.

During the operation Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Asst. Comdt. and Shri Umesh Kumar, Asst. Comdt. exhibited great courage and led the troops from the front. Despite grave threat to their lives they advanced towards the maoists positions, without caring for the bullets, and counter attacked the maoists thereby inflicting heavy losses on them. Similarly, Ct/GD Anuraj T and Ct/GD M Mani matched the bravery of their commanders and fought shoulder to shoulder with them. Unmindful of their own safety and security they exhibited nerve of steel under the life threatening situation and displayed highest degree of courage and gallant.

In this encounter S/Shri Ajeet Kumar Ram, Assistant Commandant, Umesh Kumar, Assistant Commandant, M. Mani, Constable and Anuraj T, Constable displayed conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

On specific intelligence received from own source about presence of a maoist dalam under LOS Commander Dinesh in the general area between villages Lendra and Bodla Pusnar, under PS Gangaloor , Distt. Bijapur (Chhatishgarh), an operation was planned. It was decided that two teams of 204 CoBRA one each under command Shri Anjani Kumar, AC and Shri. Nikhilesh, AC would comb the general area and launch an assault against the maoist dalam.

Accordingly, teams left the base Camp on 10/3/2014 and moved under thick vegetation avoiding habitation to reach nearer to the target area. The troops reached near village Bodla Pushnar by the evening and took LUP in the jungle during night. In the early morning of 11/03/14, the teams got divided and moved parallel to each other combing the area towards village Bodla Pushnar. After searching the general area the troops moved towards village Isulnar. The team under command Shri Anjani Kumar, AC was moving in left flank when it received a heavy volume of fire from a hilltop near village Isulnar. Immediately the team retaliated to the general direction of fire and took positions. The fire was coming from 3-4 directions in the midst of dense foliage therefore the location and number of Maoists could not be ascertained. To counter-attack the maoists, Shri. Anjani Kumar, AC, then ordered Shri. Nikhilesh AC, to attack the Maoists from their rear while he would engage them from front. Shri. Nikhilesh AC on receiving the probable location of the Maoists moved at the rear of the hill and started moving upward with complete stealth. The front team engaged the Maoists by frequently changing their position and firing at them. The Maoists noticing that they had succeeded in stopping the movement of troops towards them started fleeing. Shri. Nikhilesh AC who was still halfway to the hilltop noticed the decreased volume of gun fire and could make out that the Maoists are fleeing from the area.

For an immediate action he took along CT/GD Birpal Singh, CT/GD Mohar Singh Jadon and CT/GD Veerendra Singh and rushed towards the hilltop ordering the other teammates to follow them. As they neared the hilltop a group of Maoist hiding behind trees and boulders opened indiscriminate fire at them. The above personnel had a miraculous escape as bullets just whizzed pass them. But undeterred by this sudden attack, they swung into action and fired at the entrenched Maoists. A fierce gunfight at the close quarter ensued. The above four brave personnel who were at lead fought ferociously with the Maoists while other team members were still at a distance. The Maoists noticing that the number of troops is only four tried to encircle them but the strong retaliation by the brave troopers forced them to stop their advance. Soon the other teammates also neared the encounter site and opened fire at the Maoists. Seeing the number of troops increasing, the Maoists lobbed grenades in succession and taking the advantage of consecutive blasts tried to flee from the area. The consecutive blasts of grenades forced the troops to lie low for a while. As the blasts finished, the above four personnel ran after the Maoists and fired at them. The Maoists also kept firing at the troops while running from the area. Without caring for the bullets being fired at them and despite being in open, the brave hearts did not give the chase and fired and gunned down one maoist.

During search of the area, dead body of a maoist, alongwith following items were recovered

1. Country made weapon with sling - 01 No.

2. Black shirt - 01 No.
