PRESIDENT’S SECRETARIAT
New Delhi, the 15th August 2025
No. 61-Pres/2025—The President of India is pleased to award Medal for Gallantry (GM) to the under mentioned
personnel of Madhya Pradesh Police:—
Sl No Name of the Awardee Rank at the time of Action Medal awarded
1 Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan Sub-Inspector GM
Statement of service for which the decoration has been awarded
On 24/6/2003, SHO Ghatigaon Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan along with one Home Gaurd Sainik Seetaram was busy
in the investigation of crime No. 49/2003 u/s 394 IPC 11/13 MPDPK Act at village Danda Khirk and they received a reliable
tip from a deployed informer that the notorious absconder Waqila Gurjar resident of Danda Khirk alongwith three to four
unknown armed Badmash dressed in military uniform were spotted since last three four days continuously near the temple of
Hanuman and Siddh Baba in the thick forest, 3/4 KM adjacent to village Danda Khirak are regularly torturing villagers and
collecting money forcefully for mining contractors situated in nearby forest. To verify and recce the topographical situation,
SHO Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan along with the informer and associate Sainik Sitaram reached the pointed spot. No sooner
they were recceing the situation two unknown armed badmash with twelve bore Guns out of which one dressed in military
uniform came across and at gun point stopped the SHO and his team and asked about their identity. SHO responded to be
mining officers. Meanwhile one of the armed badmash having suspicion opened fire on SHO Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan in
which he narrowly escaped and fired in self-defence. The dacoit then scuffled and started wrestling with the SHO and tried to
overpower him by pulling him down on earth and inflicted injuries by teeth bite on the left scapular region and left cheek and
on both the hands, he again tried to fire on the SHO who was lying on the ground but Shri Chauhan sparingly came out of the
clutches of the dacoit. Meanwhile the informer came forward and struck a stone boulder over the head of the dacoit two three
times, resulting in the dacoit's death. On the other hand, the other dacoit was scuffling with the Home Guard Sainik Sitaram in
which the dacoit opened fire on the Home Guard Sainik and tried to snatch the service revolver from him in which he rescued
himself and fired in self-defence but undeterred with the attack, he struck with a stone boulder two three times over the head
of the dacoit resulting in his death. Two 12 bore single barrel guns with 11 live cartridges and 03 empty cartridges were
recovered from the deceased dacoits. On further verification, both were identified namely as Shiv Narayan S/o Gendalal Pathak
Rio Utila and Rameshwar S/o Gendalal Pathak R/o Utila who were absconding from the village and joined hands with
absconder Waqila Gurjar. Both dacoits committed a murder in village Utila in 1987 in which they were sentenced life
imprisonment by Session Court, Gwalior and subsequently confirmed by High Court in Dec 2002 but both of them jumped bail
and absconded. Within a span of six months, they formed a formidable local gang and were operating in areas of P.S. Utila.
Behat. Ghatigaon, Panihar. Tigra etc. A reward of Rs. 5000/- each was declared by S.P. Gwalior in January 2003.
In the entire phase of this face to face encounter of about 20 minutes, the role of Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan was of a
high order in which the dacoits inflicted injuries by teeth bites and through the barrel and butt of the gun on the different part
of the body of Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan, but undeterred with the attack and at a great personal risk to his life he kept on
fighting with the absconders and it was due to his personal valour and courage and with a sense of high devotion to duty and
an extra ordinary leadership that both the dreaded dacoits were killed in this encounter.
In this operation, Shri Vivek Kumar Chauhan, Sub-Inspector of Madhya Pradesh Police displayed conspicuous
gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of a higher order.
The Medal for Gallantry (GM) is conferred under President’s Secretariat Notification No. 85-Pres/2023
dated 14th October, 2023 and Ministry of Home Affairs’ communication No. 11024/06/2023-PMA dated 16th October, 2023.
Consequently, this award carries with it the admissible monetary allowance with effect from 24/06/2003.
