Inspector general of police D Roopa Moudgil who was in the news for exposing the alleged VIP treatment to AIADMK leader Sasikala in Bengaluru central prison, has reportedly refused to accept 'Namma Bengaluru Award' conferred by non-profit organization Namma Bengaluru Foundation.In a letter addressed to Namma Bengaluru Foundation, the senior officer of home guard and civil defense stated that her 'conscience does not allow' her to receive the high cash reward offered to her.
Her letter read, "Every government servant is expected to maintain neutrality and equidistance from all quasi-political bodies and associations that have even the bare minimum political overtone. Only then can a public servant maintain a clean and fair image in the eyes of the public."
