Five armed terrorists drove into India's Parliament. The first person to raise the alarm was a woman constable who had no gun, only a walkie talkie. Her name was Kamlesh Kumari Yadav, a CRPF constable from Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh. She joined the CRPF in 1994. In July 2001 she was posted to the women's battalion guarding Parliament. At that time women constables at Parliament were not given weapons. On 13 December 2001 she was on duty at Iron Gate No. 1. Around 11.50 am a white Ambassador with a red beacon and Home Ministry markings came in from Vijay Chowk. It did not slow down at the gate. Kamlesh walked towards the car and knew something was wrong. Five armed men got out. She ran back to seal the gate, shouting and raising the alarm on her walkie talkie. Her shouts alerted the security forces and the terrorists. She ran towards Constable Sukhwinder Singh at Gate No. 11. The terrorists opened fire on her. Eleven bullets hit her. She was the first person killed in the Parliament attack. Her alarm gave the other guards time to take position. Not one terrorist got inside the building. She left behind her husband Avdhesh and two daughters, Jyoti and Shweta. In 2002 she was awarded the Ashok Chakra after her death, the first policewoman to receive it.
