Cop Confronts Actor's Rally: "Blood on Your Hands?"

In Puducherry, IPS officer Isha Singh made headlines by confronting organizers of a large political rally led by actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Video captured Singh demanding accountability, asking, "You have so many people's blood. Forty people have died. What are you doing?" This occurred shortly after a stampede at a previous TVK rally in Karur, which claimed 41 lives. Singh had previously warned her superiors about the risks associated with permitting Vijay's event after the Karur incident.

Singh, born in Mumbai in 1998, comes from a family dedicated to public service. Her father, Yogesh Pratap Singh, an IPS officer, resigned over corruption issues, and her mother, Abha Singh, left civil service to pursue public interest law. Isha herself graduated from the National Law School, Bengaluru, and focused on human rights and litigation before joining the IPS, motivated by a desire for systemic change.

Her reputation in Puducherry was built on consistent engagement, including midnight patrols and community interaction, earning her local respect beyond viral moments. The "Lady Singham" moniker highlights her fearless approach, demonstrating a commitment to law and order that mirrors but surpasses cinematic portrayals, as she directly confronts those in power.
