Sudhir Kumar Tudu was a police constable of the Odisha Police's Special Operation Group, who was a posthumous recipient of the Shaurya Chakra.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] He joined the Odisha Police as a constable in 2013 and was recruited into the SOG in 2018.[8] He was from Sanbhadua village in the Suliapada police limits in Mayurbhanj district.

Tudu took part in an anti-Maoist action in September of 2020 which was held at Sirki village in Kalahandi, Odisha. He had volunteered to come out of secure cover during the exchange of fire, risking his life. He was in the 5th place in the right flank assault party. Tudu crawled taking advantage of the dense vegetation to gain access to the Maoist camp. He entered the camp despite heavy fire and attacked the Maoists, forcing them to flee far into the forest. During the operation, he was killed in action by the members of left-wing terrorism on 9th September 2020. He performed a pivotal role by battling valiantly, and his bravery saved the lives of several police commandos.[5][9][10][11][12]

Shaurya Chakra awardee[]

The President of India posthumously conferred the prestigious Shaurya Chakra to him for his supreme sacrifices and gallant action. His parents received the award by the SP Rishikesh Khilari on the 75th Independence Day (2021).[13][14][15][16]
