The firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff had caused a stir across the country. Kota police have now arrested the accused in the case within 24 hours. Kota police's alertness and courage are being widely praised on social media.
The Rajasthan government has also taken note of the operation. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma phoned Kota city Superintendent of Police (SP) Tejaswini Gautam, an IPS officer, and congratulated the entire police team. He also praised SP Tejaswini's strong leadership.
According to available information, at about 9:45 am on the day of the attack, Kota SP Tejaswini Gautam received a crucial input from the Mumbai Police Crime Branch. It said that some notorious accused were fleeing by train and heading towards Kota.
On receiving the information, Kota police acted without losing a moment. A blockade was set up at the railway station and the surrounding area. Within just 15 minutes, police had caught all the accused. The swift and precise action averted a major incident and foiled the accused's plans.
IPS officer Tejaswini Gautam, who led the operation, is a 2013-batch officer of the Rajasthan cadre. She is originally from Delhi and comes from an educated family.
On her education, she holds a BA (Honours) in political science from Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi. She has also studied LLB and completed an MA in public administration. She is said to have been a gold medallist at Delhi University during her student days.
Before coming to Kota, Gautam served as Superintendent of Police in key districts such as Churu, Ajmer and Bikaner. She has also worked as an SP in the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Jaipur. She is known across the police department for her strong work, candour and tough policing.
Her work has not been limited to curbing crime. During her posting in Churu, she took messages of safety and the law to the public through street plays and awareness campaigns. While in Ajmer, she started a special initiative called "Prerna". Through it, she made an important contribution to the rehabilitation of young people struggling with addiction and going astray.
As a woman police officer, she has always given top priority to women's safety, spreading legal awareness and controlling crime. Because of this approach, the Kota police action is being discussed across the country today.
