London : An Indian national has been honoured by British police for saving the life of a Sikh religious leader who was attacked at a Gurudwara in the UK in 2013. Fifty-one-year-old Baldev Singh travelled to the UK from India to receive his commendation for bravery from Leicestershire Police.
He was at the forefront of a group of worshippers at the Namdhari Sikh Gurudwara at Spinney Hills in Leicester city in August 2013 when a man took out an axe and attempted to assassinate Namdhari Sikh sect leader Satguru Uday Singh.
"If I hadn't intervened, the situation would have been very different and there would have been a lot of upset people within the community. It was my natural instinct to save His Holiness...," Baldev said.
"I am always taken aback when I hear of the acts of bravery and kindness that happen in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland every day," said Leicestershire Chief Constable Simon Cole, who presented the award to Baldev.
