The Incident
On 5 October 2020, troops of 110 Battalion CRPF were deployed for Road Opening Party duty near milestone 280.6, close to the Kadlabal underpass road at Nowgam, Jammu and Kashmir, to safeguard the movement of security forces.

Terrorists hiding inside a nearby brick factory and positioned at advantageous vantage points opened indiscriminate fire on the CRPF troops.

The troops quickly regrouped and retaliated with targeted fire, forcing the terrorists to flee from the area.

During the fierce exchange of fire, Constable Shailendra Pratap Singh sustained grievous injuries. He was evacuated to 92 Base Hospital of the Army for treatment.

Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries and made the supreme sacrifice on 5 October 2020.

His courage and devotion to duty remain part of the proud record of the Central Reserve Police Force.
