A tough IPS cop, who is a teacher too

In his 12-year police career in Madhya Pradesh, Amit Singh, now Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in the Narcotics Cell has led tough operations and cracked big crime cases successfully. But there is another side of this 2009 batch officer’s personality. He is taking time out from the busy schedule to upskill civil service aspirants to crack this prestigious competition. For almost a decade, this 43-year-old officer has been guiding Union and state civil services aspirants. Singh is not alone in this mission and he is accompanied by a dozen friends including Gujarat cadre IAS officer Alok Pande.
