| *On January 29, 2002 there was a specific information that a group of [[Al-Badr (Jammu and Kashmir)|Al-Badr]] militants were waiting for other terrorist associates to conduct a meeting to plan subversive activities in [[Srinagar]]. Vaid, then DIG of Police Range Srinagar planned a joint operation along with [[Border Security Force|BSF]] and J&K Police SOG to apprehend the militants. The same night Vaid got the area cordoned off with the help of BSF/SOG and local police so as to ensure that militants do not escape during night taking the advantage of darkness. The held up militants tried to take the BSF personnel hostage who were trapped inside but an assault was launched by Vaid along with other officers and in the process managed to rescue one BSF Jawan. In an official statement from the [[President of India|President's Secretariat]], the President of India awarded Vaid the [[Police Medal (India)|Police Medal for Gallantry]]:{{quote|text=Dr. Vaid in a conspicuous act of gallantry led a group of SOG personnel into the house in the face of heavy firing and ensured lobbing of grenades into the rooms where the militants were taking shelter.
