In an unprecedented and emotional event, Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Sudhir Saxena will be honored by his daughter, IPS officer Sonakshi Saxena, during his farewell ceremony. The event, set to take place on November 30, 2024, at Bhopal’s Motilal Nehru Stadium, marks a unique moment in the history of Madhya Pradesh Police. Sonakshi, currently serving as Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Intelligence in Bhopal, will salute her father as part of the farewell procession.

The father-daughter duo’s shared legacy in the Indian Police Service (IPS) has captured the public imagination, highlighting the dedication and commitment of two generations to law enforcement.

Sudhir Saxena: A Distinguished Career

Born on November 15, 1964, in Gwalior, Sudhir Kumar Saxena initially pursued engineering. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and later earned a Master of Technology (MTech) before deciding to appear for the Union Public Service Commission’s (UPSC) Civil Services Examination. In 1986, he cleared the exam and joined the 1987 batch of IPS officers.

Over the decades, Saxena held key positions, including:

  • Superintendent of Police in Chhindwara, Raigarh, Ratlam, Jabalpur, and other districts.
  • Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh (2012–2014).
  • Chief of Intelligence (2014–2016).
  • Director General of CISF, before he was appointed Madhya Pradesh DGP in 2022.

Saxena’s career has been marked by professionalism and dedication, culminating in his leadership as the state’s top police officer.

Sonakshi Saxena: Following in Her Father’s Footsteps

Born on December 11, 1992, Sonakshi Saxena shares her father’s passion for public service. After earning her LLB, she decided to pursue the UPSC Civil Services Examination, which she cleared in 2019. She was inducted into the IPS in 2020.

Sonakshi’s assignments include:

  • Serving as Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in Indore.
  • Her current role is DCP Intelligence in Bhopal.

Sonakshi’s dedication to the IPS mirrors her father’s illustrious journey, and her involvement in the farewell ceremony underscores the strength of their familial and professional bond.

A Historic Farewell

The farewell event is expected to blend professional honor and personal pride. For Sudhir Saxena, this ceremony will not only mark the culmination of a stellar career but also celebrate a rare moment of recognition by his own daughter, symbolizing the continuation of his legacy in the IPS.

The ceremony will likely inspire future generations, showcasing the values of commitment and service within families devoted to public service.
