EMBRACE YOUR POWER

Roopa D Moudgil secured a good rank in her UPSC exam and chose IPS in the Karnataka cadre. She has reached higher echelons of service by virtue of her hard work and dedication to duty. She has been known to report various illegalities and corrupt practices within the administration, which were proven to be true on independent inquiries and investigations by the State Government. She exposed corruption, undue favours, and special facilities in prison to convict Smt. Sasikala, the close aide of Smt Jayalalitha, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. She also brought out tender irregularities in Nirbhaya-Safe City Project and due to her proactive efforts the tender costing was reduced to the public exchequer. While she was the DCP, City Armed Reserve, Bangalore, she had withdrawn as many as 216 excess gunmen kept unauthorisedly by as many as 81 politicians that was appreciated from all quarters.

She had also withdrawn 8 new SUVs of the department that unauthorisedly remained with an ex-Chief Minister of Karnataka. In her first stint as district police head of Dharwad District, she arrested and executed non-bailable warrant issued by Hon'ble Court at Hubli against the then Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Sushri Uma Bharti.

She has been conferred President's Medal for Meritorious Services by the Union government. The State Government has conferred on her 'Kempegowda Award' for public service, besides many other awards like the 'Speakout' award Rotary International "Vocational Excellence" Award, Proud Kannadiga, Kannadiga of the Year, Anti-Corruption Academy's "Whistleblower Officer" Award and more.
