Once when Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya was a young girl, her father got badly beaten up over a property dispute. Without influence and from a humble background, she pleaded with cops to help her, but they wouldn’t budge and refused to register an FIR. That’s when she decided to become an IPS officer.
Those who know her said much of the empathy towards the weak and the downtrodden that she showed through most of her career had to do with her own personal life. But India’s first woman DGP, who died at 72 in a Mumbai hospital late Monday night after an illness, left much more than her soft side as her legacy.
