Some Indian Police Officers And Their Stories Of Bravery That Will Restore Your Faith In The Indian Police Forces

Indian police is often looked down upon as corrupt and uncooperative. But like all men are not rapists, all police officers are not corrupt. If we look closely, it’s not hard to find officers who are serving the civilians selflessly and setting example for polices forces all over India. Here are 8 such police officers who are shining examples of how policemen should actually be. 

1. Vinod Kumar Chaubey
Then serving in Chhattisgarh, on 12th July 2009 Vinod Kumar Chaubey led a head-on attack on the Naxals after they had murdered two police officers from Chaubey’s team. While his team was being brutally ambushed with bullets and grenades, Chaubey sprang towards the Naxalites in the trenches 10 meters away and fired, successfully pushing them back. Sadly though, he ultimately succumbed to death. In the ordeal, Chaubey not only saved more than a dozen of his men but also a bus full of civilians who were stranded in the middle of the bloodshed.

2. Mohan Chand Sharma
One of the most respected officers of the Delhi Police, Mohan Sharma lost his life during the bloody encounter of the terrorists suspected of 2008 blasts at Batla House in 2008. Sharma valiantly took bullets to his abdomen, thighs and right arm, ultimately succumbing to blood loss. The encounter was successful and still shines bright as an example of police bravery.

3. Hemant Karkare
Karkare was one of the few police men who rushed to the Shivaji Terminus on the dreaded night of 26/11 to counter Ajmal Kasab and his fellow terrorists. Karkare jumped into action wearing just a helmet and a bullet proof vest to take on Kasab and company who were armed with grenades and were firing recklessly with his AK -47.

4. Ashok Kamte
Kamte along with Vijay Salaskar and Hemant Karkare were killed on the very same night of 26/11 by terrorists. Kamte was the only one who successfully injured Ajmal Kasab on his hands in midst of taking heavy firing. His bravery was honored with the Ashoka Chakra on 26 January 2009.

5. Vijay Salaskar
Salaskar was one of the most dreaded encounter specialists of the Mumbai police and was with Kamte and Karkare (above) when they launched an assault on the terrorists on 26/11. Salaskar also fell victim to the attack but nonetheless, left behind a legacy that will always inspire the youth.

6. K. Prasad Babu
Babu was a part of the elite Greyhounds special operations group of the Andhra Pradesh Police. Despite being really low on ammunition, a severely injured Babu saved the lives of 4 commandos and killed 9 Maoists. He is still the only police officer from Andhra Pradesh to receive the Ashok Chakra.

7. Ajit Kumar Doval
An IPS officer who went on to become one of the most successful spies in Indian history, Doval now spearheads the Intelligence Bureau. He served as an undercover agent in Pakistan for 7 years and even disguised as an ISI agent during the 1980s Golden Temple siege and helped the army strategically.

8. Shivdeep Waman Lande
If there’s a real life ‘dabangg’ police officer with guts and fearlessness, it has to be Lande. IPS Lande single-handedly curbed the crime rate in Patna during his time there as an SP. He came to limelight by dealing with crooks like they should be dealt with and was particularly a hit amongst the women in the state for his brother like stature. Sadly though, he was soon transferred, thanks to corrupt politicians and his fearless dealings with crime.

9. Narendra Kumar
Posted in Banmore, Madhya Pradesh, the young IPS officer Narendra Kumar was actively involved in arresting criminals incriminated in mining scams.

11. Kiran Bedi
The first woman to ever become an IPS officer, Kiran Bedi is probably one of the most popular civil servants of India.
