'''Kamlesh Kumari Yadav''' was an Indian constable who served with the [[Central Reserve Police Force]] (CRPF) and a recipient of the [[Ashoka Chakra]], the highest possible award conferred during peacetime by the Republic of India. Kamlesh Kumari was martyred on 13 December 2001 after successfully preventing terrorist gunmen and a terrorist suicide bomber from reaching [[Parliament of India|Parliament]] during the [[2001 Indian Parliament attack]].<ref name="mid-day 2009">{{cite news|last=Dutta|first=Anshuman G|title=Armed only with a wireless set, Kumari rushed in to face the terrorists|url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2009/aug/110809-Kamlesh-Kumari-CRPF-Constable-2001-Parliament-attacks-Indomitables-Ashok-Chakra-Delhi.htm|accessdate=24 February 2013|newspaper=Mid Day|date=11 August 2009}}</ref>

== Career ==
Constable Kamlesh Kumari Yadav joined the CPRF in 1994 and was first posted with the elite 104 [[Rapid Action Force]] (RAF) in [[Allahabad]]. Soon after, she was posted at the 88 Mahila (Women's) Battalion on 12 July 2001. Kumari became part of Bravo Company, the group tasked with securing Parliament when in session.

== 13 December 2001 ==
{{refimprove section|date=February 2013}}
Kamlesh Kumari Yadav was posted at Iron Gate No. 1, next to Building Gate No. 11, of the Parliament House.<ref name="mid-day 2009"/> An [[Hindustan Ambassador|Ambassador]] brand car, bearing the license plate number DL 3C J 1527, drove towards the gate from [[Vijay Chowk]]. Yadav was the first security official to approach the car and, realising something was amiss, ran back to her post to seal the gate. The terrorists, with their cover effectively blown and unable to travel further due to Kumari's foresight, opened fire. Eleven bullets struck Kamlesh Yadav in the stomach. The attack occurred at 11:50 in the morning.

Kamlesh Kumari Yadav's alertness prevented a suicide bomber among the terrorists from executing their plan; the closing of Gate No. 1 and the alarm raised gave time for other security personnel to take position and neutralize the would-be bomber.

== Family ==
Kamlesh's is survived by two daughters, Jyoti and Shweta and her husband, Avdhesh Kumar Kamlesh's family hails from [[Sikanderpur, Kannauj|Sikanderpur]], [[Kannauj]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Kamlesh and her family had earlier lived in Vikaspuri, [[Delhi]].
