As the nation gears up for Republic Day, 31 dedicated souls from the CBI stand tall, honored with the nation’s highest police accolades. Announced in New Delhi on January 25, the list features six President’s Police Medals for Distinguished Service and 25 for Meritorious Service, celebrating contributions to anti-corruption drives, economic crime probes, and internal security fortification.
These medals are more than tokens; they symbolize relentless pursuit of justice amid intricate cases that test resolve and expertise.
The elite six include IPS officer Chandrashekar Venupullei of Delhi Zone, Amit Srivastava at CBI HQ, Mukesh Sharma in New Delhi, Pramod Yati in Kolkata, Chaman Lal at Ghaziabad’s CBI Academy, and Amu Golla in Hyderabad. Their stories of valor, precision, and ethical fortitude inspire across ranks.
Meritorious honorees span the board: Venkata Subba Reddy from SC Zone, Sadanand Date from Mumbai, Manmohan Sharma and Dipti Vashishth from New Delhi, Narikote Nandini from Chennai, Vinod Kumar from Lucknow, Netram Chaurasia and Puran Mal Gurjar from key units—plus technicians and support crew whose behind-the-scenes efforts are indispensable.
This broad recognition highlights CBI’s ethos: success through every cog in the machine, from leadership to grassroots levels.
CBI chiefs extended heartfelt felicitations, framing the awards as a testament to shared values and a call to action for future triumphs. In an era of evolving threats, such honors galvanize the force toward even bolder strides in public service.
