Sprinter Hima Das being inducted into Assam Police

Star sprinter Hima Das was inducted as Deputy Superintendent of Assam Police on Friday in the presence of chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and described the moment as a childhood dream coming true.


Hima was handed the appointment letter by Sonowal, also a former Union Sports Minister, at a ceremony attended by the top functionaries of the state government.


Addressing the gathering after her induction as DSP,  Das said: “People here know and I am not going to say anything different. Since my early school days, I harboured a wish to become a police officer one day and my mother also wished that. She would buy me a gun [toy] during Durga Puja  and tell me that I should join Assam police.”
