Hyderabad: A picture of a father, a serving Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, saluting a Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) topper and probationary Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer on the eve of Father’s Day went viral online as netizens were overwhelmed by the heartwarming moment. At a seminar held at the Telangana State Police Academy for IAS trainees, IPS officer N Venkateswarlu, who is the Superintendent of Police (SP) and Deputy Director of the academy, saluted his daughter, IAS officer N Uma Harathi (2022-batch).

N Uma Harathi secured All India Rank 3 in the UPSC 2022 exam.
