Roopa Divakar Moudgil is a 2000 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of Karnataka. She is one of the most
popular IPS officers of India in the contemporary times. An officer who has
always been at loggerheads with both BJP and Congress was also instrumental in
bringing to the fore an open secret – that is the privilege treatment given to
VIPs in Indian jail. The prisoner was Sasikala. In fact, Roopa was transferred
to the jail department as a shunting post. But, she has shown the power of an
IPS officer even here. Needless to say, she was again transferred out.
