Priyanka Mishra, first woman police officer to be posted in the Chambal range as Deputy Superintendent of Police, in India’s most notorious dacoit-infested region.
A Ph.D in Medieval History from Indore University in Madhya Pradesh, Priyanka joined the police force in 1995 after clearing the state civil services examinations.
Her courage and commitment to the job has earned her two letters of commendation from her seniors and the admiration of many people. Her proud father calls her "bahadur beti" (brave daughter). And, perhaps to prove her father right, she refuses to wear her bullet-proof jacket during operations.
Desperate to get rid of Priyanka, many dacoits even declared rewards on Priyanka’s head (even $10,000).
