The retirement of Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police Sudhir Saxena (IPS:1987:MP) from service on Saturday makes news with a difference. The reason: he was given a rare ceremonial farewell parade by his IPS officer daughter Sonakshi Saxena (IPS:2020:MP), who gave him the valedictory salute.
This is reported to be a first in the country’s history that an IPS officer daughter has commanded the farewell parade of her retiring
IPS officer father. This parade was held at the Motilal Nehru Police Stadium in Bhopal on Saturday evening.
Sudhir Kumar Saxena took over as DGP on March 4, 2022. After more than three decades of an illustrious police career his term ended on November 30.
His daughter Sonakshi Saxena is currently posted as Deputy Commissioner of Police (Information) in Bhopal. Prior to this, she has worked as Assistant Commissioner of Police in Indore and Additional Superintendent of Police in Jabalpur.
Senior IPS officer Kailash Makwana (IPS:1988:MP) has been appointed as the new DGP of the state in his place.
