On 23rd May, 2014 at around 0325 hrs, a group of armed Fidayeens launched an attack on Consulate General of India, Herat (Afghanistan) with Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs/UBGLs) followed by incessant heavy burst fire from automatic weapons.
Inspector Manjit Singh, who was commander of security arrangements
made by ITBP in Indian Consulate in Herat quickly assessed the threat and ordered the troops to firmly counter
the Fidayeen attack.
Manjit Singh escorted the Consulate General and civilian staff to the ‘Strong Room’ and ensured their safety. He swiftly moved from one commando to the other and guided and motivated them. One Fidayeen was killed by ITBP commandos inside the premises of the Consulate while three others were compelled to take shelter in nearby build up area and later on neutralized by Afghan Forces.
ITBP troop showed their gallant act which resulted in neutralizing Fidayeen attack on Indian Consulate in Herat. Shri Manjeet Singh displayed raw courage, determination in performing his duty.
