The graduation ceremony at Dr BR Ambedkar Police Academy in Moradabad turned extra special when a proud father received a salute from his officer daughter. The photo of the officer duo saluting each other in uniform has been warming hearts online ever since it went viral.
The female officer in the photograph has been identified as Apeksha Nimbadia who stood up to salute her father APS Nimbadia after the passing-out parade on Monday. The man, who is Deputy Inspector General in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), was seen beaming with pride while returning his daughter’s salute after her graduation.
“Proud father getting salute from the proud daughter,” ITBP captioned the image while sharing it on Instagram. According to the post, the newly inducted officer will be joining as Deputy Superintendent of Police in Uttar Pradesh.
The border patrol force also shared a photo of the duo posing with the young officer’s mother Bimlesh Nimbadia at the ceremony.
The occasion, however, was apparently not too big a news for the family since it has a long tradition of serving officers. The force highlighted that APS Nimbadia was himself a “third-generation officer”.
The post had grabbed a lot of attention online, with the father-daughter pair earning huge appreciations. Many responded saying it’s “good to see daughters carrying on family’s tradition”.
Notably, this is not the first time that a father-daughter duo in the forces has gone viral. Months ago, another officer Dikha Kumar had hogged the limelight after joining the ITBP as an Assistant Commandant.
