Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Delhi blasts braveheart wants to return medal Enlarge Photo By IBNlive.com Monday October 29, 10:23 AM New Delhi: His courage and presence of mind saved 80 lives on October 29, 2005 - the day serial blasts rocked Delhi. Kuldeep Singh put his life on line to remove a bomb from the bus he was driving. The blast left him blind, deaf in one ear and maimed. Two years on, Singh is still reeling under its impact. He now wants to return the bravery medal conferred on him by the government. " They said they would reimburse the expenses for my treatment. I provided them with all the necessary documents but nothing has come of it so far,” he says. It's not just the money that's missing. Kuldeep says he has knocked on all doors and the people who lauded him for his bravery two years ago, turn him away today with false assurances or even insults. " I am proud of myself for saving so many lives but I regret that I haven't regained my vision yet,” he says. Today Kuldeep has a government flat and a job that just about pays for his monthly expenses. But what he needs is money for treatment that will make him financially independent again. Is it too heavy a price for his act of bravery?
