The Indian Police Service is a job like no other. You have to constantly be on your toes, ready to fight criminals and, if required, give up your life at any moment. These are the real superheroes. Here are 10 brave hearts who deserve to be talked about. While some of them gave up their lives fighting for us, the others left no stone unturned to make the country a better and safer place to live in.

5. Vinod Kumar Chaubey

When Superintendent of Police Vinod Kumar Choubey heard that Naxals had killed 2 policemen in the remote forest area of Madanwada in Raipur in 2009, he did what he has always been known to do; leading his men from the front. Facing Naxal attacks was not new to him, and this time too he bravely fought them without worrying for his safety. He was 49 when he lost his life doing what he was always known for doing- fighting bravely.

6. Shivdeep Waman Lande

This story is right out of a Bollywood action flick! There was a time when Patna was infamous as the city of gundas but that is until SP Lande took charge. This one-man army was perhaps the inspiration for Chulbul Pandey because once he came to power, crime rate in the city took a nosedive. In just 10 months as an SP, he not only curbed medicine mafia, illegal wine shops and imposed strict traffic laws but also won hearts with his devotion and selfless service. What's more? He was a total hit with the ladies and was like a big brother to all the girls in the city. He gave all of them his mobile number so that they could call him directly in the time of need. A true hero, Lande!
