Constable Daljeet Singh, 111 BN CRPF
On 31 October 1994, personnel of the 111th Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force were deployed in Nalbari district, Assam, as part of counter-insurgency operations. During their deployment, the troops encountered two suspects travelling on a motorcycle and challenged them.
The situation quickly escalated when the suspects opened heavy fire and took cover inside a nearby house. CRPF personnel responded swiftly, returning fire and forcing the attackers to flee. During the fierce exchange, Constable Daljeet Singh, who was positioned at the front of the operation, sustained serious injuries.
Despite the efforts to save him, Constable Daljeet Singh succumbed to his injuries. He made the supreme sacrifice on 31 October 1994. His actions during the encounter reflected the risks faced by personnel deployed in counter-insurgency operations and the courage required to confront armed attacks.
The Honour Post remembers Constable Daljeet Singh of 111 BN CRPF with respect and gratitude. We honour his service and extend our tribute to a braveheart who laid down his life in the line of duty.
