Uttar Pradesh Police has marked Police Commemoration Day 2026 by honoring the unmatched courage, dedication, and supreme sacrifice of fallen police personnel through the release of a special short film titled Vardi. Created under the leadership and guidance of Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna, this cinematic presentation serves as a humble and emotional tribute to those officers who laid down their lives while faithfully discharging their official duties.
Built Under the Guidance of DGP Rajeev Krishna
The project was conceptualized and completed with the core objective of portraying not just the valor of police personnel, but also the profound emotional pain and life-altering challenges that befall the families left behind after such a supreme sacrifice. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between the police force and the citizens by bringing these poignant human realities to the forefront.
Dedicated to Martyr Inspector Sunil Kumar
DGP Rajeev Krishna stated that the film Vardi is a heartfelt tribute to all the brave hearts who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, specifically dedicating the project to the gallantry, dedication, and supreme sacrifice of martyred STF Inspector Sunil Kumar. Honored posthumously with the prestigious Kirti Chakra, Inspector Sunil Kumar's martyrdom forms the emotional core through which the film pays respects to every officer who has fallen on the path of duty.
In-House Police Talent Behind the Production
Shot extensively in Mumbai, a notable highlight of this production is that its script was written entirely by an active member of the police force itself. Constable Kapil Dinकर, posted at the social media center of the police headquarters, not only penned the screenplay for the film but also lent his voice for the voiceover. Furthermore, the creative direction of the project was successfully managed by the internal team of the police department, highlighting the hidden creative potential within the force.
Gratitude Extended to the Film Industry
The project highlights how internal departmental talent can come together for meaningful storytelling. DGP Rajeev Krishna also expressed his sincere gratitude to the Bollywood industry for extending their support and cooperation towards subjects and themes that are deeply connected with social causes and public welfare.
Spreading Awareness of Heroism
The leadership of the Uttar Pradesh Police remains committed to ensuring that the valor of uniformed heroes, their sacrifices, and the genuine sensitivities of their families reach every corner of society. On behalf of the entire police force, the leadership offered its deepest reverences to all the immortalized martyrs who surrendered everything for the safety and security of the nation.
A Special Initiative for Commemoration Day 2026
The department has expressed optimism that the film Vardi will resonate deeply with viewers, allowing them to comprehend the immense sacrifices made by personnel who embrace their duties above all else. This release stands as a special initiative on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day 2026 to remember departed heroes and cultivate widespread sensitivity toward their grieving families.
