Bhopal, Nov 30 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police Sudhir Saxena retired from service on Saturday, the farewell parade’s standout feature being that it was commanded by his daughter and IPS officer Sonakshi Saxena.

It was probably the first time something like this was happening anywhere in the country, officials claimed.

“The parade was held at the Motilal Nehru Police Stadium here. Sonakshi Saxena is a 2020 batch Indian Police Officer and is currently posted as Deputy Commissioner of Police (Intelligence) in Bhopal. Her father was part of the 1987 IPS batch,” an official said.
