NEW DELHI: Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, the man behind many counter-terror operations of the Special Cell of the Delhi police during the past few years, died of injuries at the Holy Family Hospital here, hours after he sustained three bullet wounds in an encounter with suspected terrorists at Batla House on Friday.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condoled the death of Inspector Sharma describing him as an exceptionally brave officer. In a letter to Mr. Sharma’s wife, the Prime Minister expressed shock over his death and said he laid down his life in defending the security of the country.

A great loss: PM



“It is officers like your husband who make us all feel confident that our security is in safe hands. Your husband’s passing away is a great loss for our country and society,” said the letter.

President Pratibha Patil said his was a supreme act of sacrifice, courage and bravery and he would be always remembered by the nation.

Inspector Sharma was recruited to the Delhi police as a sub-inspector in 1989 and was promoted out of turn in 1995. While working with the Special Cell, he grew up as a cool-headed team-man who led major operations from the front. He was instrumental in neutralising 35 terrorists and arresting as many as 80 militants. Inspector Sharma also gunned down 40 gangsters in encounters and arrested 120 criminals.

He was conferred seven gallantry medals, including President’s Police Medal for Gallantry in 2003 and 2007 and Police Medals for Gallantry in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005. He also received 150 rewards for his exemplary performance.

On Friday, when he left for Batla House to lead the operation, his son was admitted with dengue to the Kalra Hospital at Kirti Nagar. When informed about the tip-off about suspected militants hiding in a flat, he rushed to the spot in the morning. When the encounter started, Inspector Sharma was apparently not wearing a bullet-proof jacket.

While he sustained a bullet injury in the stomach, the other two hit him on the thigh and the right arm. A profusely bleeding Inspector Sharma was rushed to the hospital, where he was operated upon. But he died at 7 p.m.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said: “We have lost our best police officer.”

“Source of motivation”


One of his subordinates said: “He was a very emotional person and always took care of our needs. He believed in team spirit and would not hesitate to take up our problems with senior police officers. He taught us ways to carry out counter-terror operations. He was very sharp in conducting surveillance and executing raids swiftly. He was always there when he required his help and was a source of motivation. This is a huge price we have paid for an operation.”

The 44-year-old police officer, who belonged to Uttarakhand, is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.[/b]

The sacrification of Mr Mohan Chand Sharma will be remebered till long.

NEW DELHI: Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, dressed in a kurta-pyajama, was killed as three terrorists suddenly came out from another room in the fourth floor flat and opened fire. Head constable Balwant Singh was also injured during the exchange of fire with the three, but was later declared out of danger.

Various police teams rushed inside and took part in the encounter. An NSG commando team also moved in to support the Delhi Police team. One of the terrorists was arrested. But despite the police cordon, two of the terrorists managed to escape. It was not clear by which route these terrorists were able to make their getaway in the melee. A significant cache of arms, including an AK-47, pistols, six mobile phones and several SIM cards along with two laptops were seized from the three bedroom flat.

The material in the laptops might give the police more information on the IM network as Atiq was in the core group which also includes SIMI general secretary Safdar Nagori and others held at Indore in March.

After the firing stopped, large number of people thronged the narrow lanes of the area and shouted religious slogans. "We are all against terrorism, then why were our religious places targeted?," asked a resident. Addressing the media, police chief Y S Dadwal brushed aside the criticism, saying, "There were a total of five suspected terrorists at L-18. Two were shot dead and one arrested while two managed to escape. Those who died were Atiq alias Fakruddin alias Bashir (24) and Mohammad Sajid (23) while the one who was arrested was identified as Mohammad Saif (21)."

Bashir had been identified as the leading light of IM's core team — responsible for blasts in three UP towns, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, failed bid on Surat, and Delhi — by both Abu Bashar and Sajjid Mansuri who have been arrested for the July 26 attack on the capital of Gujarat. Dadwal, however, asserted that inputs had not come from Bashar. The Friday morning operation was the result of close coordination between central agencies, and the police forces of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. It also shows the trove of evidence and leads that the arrest of Bashir and his fellow terrorists has yielded.

The success in reaching those allegedly responsible for Delhi blasts came after similar co-ordiantion helped achieve breakthroughs with regard to blasts in Ahmedabad and Jaipur and the the plot against Surat.

The shootout also blasted a hole in SIMI's defence-that it is a cultural organisation- and may help Centre with its plea before the Supreme Court to restore the ban on it. Besides providing a new insight into SIMI's audacity, the dramatic event has once again trained the spotlight on Azamgarh. Four of the terrorist involved in the recent serial blasts in different cities are from Sarai Meer in Azamgarh. Two of them, Atiq and Mohammed Sajid, are dead. Mohammed Saif, the terrorist who was arrested from Batla House, is also from the same part of Azamgarh. Mufti Bashir, also from the same district in eastern UP, is seen as the main ideologue and planner of the IM.

Bashir's father in Azamgarh, Sadaf Ahmed, told tv channels that the terrorist had been in Azamgarh recently till July 10 and was an MA degree holder.

Bashir had left for Delhi on July 10 after a brief bout of illness. He was friends with Saif but largely kept to himself. Atiq was one of 10 siblings and had told his father that he was going to Delhi for a computer course.

Investigators said that Bashir alongwith 10 others had gone to Ahmedabad before the blasts there and had returned by train to Delhi, this time with 12 persons, on July 27. Cops said Bashir was invloved in the recce operations in Delhi ahead of the September 13 blasts. On examination of reservation charts the identities were found to be falsely entered.

Police added that the five terrorist were reportedly staying for past two months at the rented flat.

The owner of the house has been detained along with four others from the locality, a senior police official said. All the terrorists possessed fake identity cards of Jamia Milia Islamia.
