Head Constable Ranvir Singh of the 17th Battalion, Border Security Force, made the supreme sacrifice on 13 October 2013 after suffering electrocution while on duty in Dhubri, Assam.
Unlike deaths during armed engagements, his sacrifice resulted from an electrical hazard encountered in the course of duty. The incident is a reminder that the responsibilities of uniformed personnel can expose them to dangers beyond direct confrontation, including hazards in their working environment.
The available memorial record identifies electrocution on duty as the circumstance of his death. Further details about the precise location, equipment involved or sequence of events have not been established here and should not be added without reliable documentation.
The Honour Post honours Head Constable Ranvir Singh, remembering his service and supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.
