Let's salute Sanjukta Parashar, IPS


This image of Sanjukta Parashar armed with an AK47 who sent 16 terrorists to death and arrested 64 more entering a dense forest should be known to every woman in the country who assumes herself to be abla.
A strikingly good looking lady, her ferocity in battle is hard to imagine. When an ordinary woman achieves something that even millions of ordinary men can't, her paeans are better sung on Social Media, but for diehard habit of some to always back the wrong horse. Reason why Sanjukta Parashar's Facebook page doesn't beget millions of likes like actresses who if played her role in a Bollywood movie would do.
Sanjukta, schooled in Assam, got a degree from JNU, ranked 85th in IPS in 2006, went on to complete her Doctorate in US Foreign Policy. Married to Puru Gupta, IAS, they have a 6 year old son. 
Sanjukta was posted as Superintendent of Police in Bodo infested Sonitpur district of Assam in 2014 while the dist was in utter chaos. Hundreds of people were being killed. Engaging with them in the dense forests of Assam was an invitation to certain death. An inspiration to the men she leads, they would swear by her leadership. Used to a regular wave of death threats she holds her head high with an enviable record of killing 16 terrorists and arresting 64 in her term of 30 months.
Presently in Delhi, her goal is to completely eliminate terrorism in the country.
