FIRST STIRRINGS
brijesh kumar gupta
it was like
yesterday. Brijesh Kumar Gupta had just entered Niranjan Talkies in Allahabad
to watch a movie when he heard shouts of “Kaptan sahib aa rahen hain (The
SSP is coming)”. Gupta, then in his early 20s, a student of MA (History) in
Allahabad University, got pushed around in the melee. He, obviously, did not
like being shoved around. But after the 1971 incident, an idea—‘Why shouldn’t I
become a Kaptan?’—took root in Gupta’s mind. The posting of BS Bedi and Ajayraj
Sharma, 1961- and 1966-batch Uttar Pradesh cadre Indian Police Service (IPS)
officers, respectively, as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Allahabad
further steeled his resolve to be part of the steel frame.
