Woman Cop In Nagpur Is Youngest To Head Rural Police Station

Nagpur's Anamika Mirzapure has scripted history by becoming the youngest and the first woman inspector of a rural police station. The 29-year-old cop reportedly took over the reins of Khapa police station on June 1.

Anamika is the quintessence of exemplary courage and leadership owing to her praiseworthy past service record. A lot of women cops will draw inspiration from her tenure as a police inspector. Mirzapure had been holding charge of assistant police inspector (API) at Khaparkheda police station since a year. The police station consisted of 46 staffers, including 6 women constables.
