Constable B. Sree Kumar of the 42nd Battalion, Central Reserve Police Force, made the supreme sacrifice on 13 October 2003 in Tripura while serving on civil convoy escort duty.
A jeep carrying CRPF personnel was struck by an improvised explosive device planted by All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) extremists. After the blast, the attackers opened heavy fire on the troops.
The CRPF personnel retaliated promptly, forcing the attackers to flee. The incident claimed the lives of three personnel from the 42nd Battalion: Constable B. Sree Kumar, Constable R. M. Perumal and Constable K. S. Prakash.
Constable Sree Kumar made the supreme sacrifice while carrying out his assigned duty. His name is remembered alongside his two colleagues who attained martyrdom in the same attack.
The Honour Post honours Constable B. Sree Kumar, preserving the memory of his service and supreme sacrifice.
