CoBRA commando Ashish Kumar Tiwari is the lone policeman to be decorated with the SHAURYA CHAKRA posthumously this Independence Day and 2nd in CRPF for single-handedly pinning down a squad of Maoists which resulted in the killing of top Naxal leader Sidhu Soren in West Bengal last year.
Tiwari, a commando of the elite 202 (CoBRA), suffered multiple bullet injuries during the assault but did not let the holed-up Maoists flee and kept firing from his INSAS rifle till he breathed his last.
