Constable Beg Raj Mal is named in the memorial image commemorating CRPF personnel associated with the Hot Springs incident. On 21 October 1959, a patrol in the Ladakh frontier region encountered an armed attack by Chinese Army personnel.
The attackers used automatic weapons and mortars, creating a dangerous situation for the Indian patrol in exposed terrain. The episode became an enduring symbol of the risks faced by personnel deployed to safeguard the country's frontiers.
The sacrifice associated with Hot Springs is remembered annually on Police Commemoration Day. The observance honours police personnel who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty across the country.
Beg Raj Mal's inclusion in this memorial is a reminder that the history of national service is carried not only by well-known events but also by the individual names of those remembered for their sacrifice.
