The award has been conferred on him for his outstanding investigation of a heinous case involving the abduction, rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in Dehradun in 2021.
According to the information released by the Police Headquarters, Bahuguna had played a crucial role in investigating the highly sensitive and challenging case by effectively utilising scientific methods and technical evidence.
