The CoBRA team unearthed an illegal arms factory and destroyed it. While returning they were surrounded, waylaid and ambushed by heavily armed naxalites. Singh helped his party to move out safely from the ambush zone. Further upon seeing the rear troops still trapped in ambush, he rushed to rescue them. He fought valiantly and broke the ambush of naxals and rescued his colleagues, but in the course sacrificed his own life for the sake of the country. Rakesh Kumar Chaurasia, assistant commandant, sub inspector Sushil Kumar Verma, head constable Lalit Kumar, constable Uday Kumar Yadav and constable Manohar Lal Chandra also were also killed in this incident. The volume of the gallantry medal is a reflection of the sacrifices being made by CRPF personnel in different areas of conflict, viz. LWE areas, J & K and North-Eastern area, fighting against anti-national elements. The awardees of President's police medal for distinguished service include inspector generals Vivek Sahay, Zulfiquar Hasan, Gurinder Jeet Singh, Kulbeer Singh, Umed Singh, and K Arkesh.
