Singh was martyred in the line of duty during the Pulwama terror attack in Kashmir in October 2020. India Today quoted a senior official as saying, “The jawans, playing the role of brothers, tried to fill the gap of martyr Shailendra.”
Singh’s father said, ‘My son is no longer in this world but now we have so many sons in the form of CRPF jawans who always stand with us in happiness and sorrow.
