Prakash Singh, a retired IPS officer and former top cop, reflected on his dedication to upholding the rule of law while in service. At 89, he launched his fourth book, highlighting his experiences combating internal security threats and his unwavering commitment to police reforms in India.

Prakash Singh, a retired IPS officer who championed police reforms, has reaffirmed his unwavering dedication to the rule of law. Speaking at the launch of his fourth book, 'Unforgettable Chapters Memoirs of a Top Cop,' Singh, now 89, reflected on his distinguished career and the sacrifices he made along the way.

The 194-page memoir delves into his decades of service as a 1959 batch IPS officer, facing some of India's most significant internal security challenges. Singh's duty postings spanned terror-stricken Jammu and Kashmir, insurgency-hit Punjab, and the North East, providing a firsthand account of his experiences and challenges.

Singh's commitment extended beyond his field duties; his 2006 PIL led the Supreme Court to mandate police reforms across India, aiming to insulate the police force from political influence and enhance its efficiency. This book serves as both an inspirational record for current and future officers and a testament to Singh's enduring legacy.
