Divakar Roopa
Moudgil is an IPS officer with a difference. This Karnataka cadre 2000 batch IPS officer has created a sort of record for taking firm stand against corruption. She has bern at loggerheads with both BJP and Congress politicians along with her senior officers.
In a stinging report, she had not minced any word in blaming the
Director General of Police (DGP) Mr. Satyanarayana Rao that he was on the
payroll of convicted Sasikala, who was imprisoned in a Bangaluru jail. She had written that the DGP accepted Rs. 2 Crores from Sasikala to allow her operate a
personal kitchen and other amenities in the jail. This is being termed as one
of the biggest whistle blowing incidents in the history of Indian police.
The Government of Karnataka couldn't digest such a bold stand and had transferred her citing Conduct Rules.
D. Roopa is
currently posted as the Chairman of Karnataka Handicraft, a shunting post for honest officers.
Profile of D. Roopa
Roopa Divakar
was born and brought up in Davangere, Karnataka. She has one more sister named
Rohini, who is an Income Tax Commissioner. Her parents (both Government
servants) always encouraged her to participate in extracurricular activities
apart from study. She was a bright student from her childhood days.
Roopa did
graduation from AVK College, Davangere. In fact, she was judged Ms. Davangere
because of her scintillating beauty and sharp mind. After completing
graduation, she prepared for Civil Services Examination and cracked UPSC CSE in
her very first attempt. Her UPSC All India Rank was 43. She could have easily
got IAS, but in the Detailed Application Form for UPSC Mains Examination, she
had given IPS as her first choice. In fact, while being an NCC Cadet, she had
decided to become an IPS officer.
Roopa is the
first Kannadiga woman IPS officer in the history of Karnataka. Needless to say,
she is the pride of not only Davangere, but also to the entire Karnataka state.
Roopa has also
remained a firm believer in honest work. There has never been any instance when
she was accused of any wrong doing or corrupt practices.
It should also
be noted that she is behind the meteoric rise of Shiv Raj Singh Chauhan. It was
Roopa who had arrested the then CM of Madhya Pradesh Uma Bharti which led to
her resignation. Babu Lal Gaur was made CM who was later removed and Shiv Raj
Singh Chauhan came to the helm.
Roopa is also
known for controlling law and order in all of her district postings. She is
bright, bold and beautiful and has become a beacon of hope, an idol for teenage
girls of Karnataka.

be noted that Roopa, a sharp shooter, has already won the prestigious President’s
Medal in 2016.
