IPS Roopa who exposed Sasikala VIP treatment refuses award
IPS officer D Roopa who exposed VIP treatment to jailed AIADMK leader Sasikala has refused to accept Namma Bengaluru Award in 'Government Official of the Year' category. Adding that her "conscience doesn't permit", Roopa said she has to maintain distance "from quasi-political bodies" as a government officer. The awards are organised by a foundation funded by BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
