"More importantly, I would also want to work towards eliminating certain factors which are proactively trying to disrupt the peace and harmony in the region lately" he added referring to the communal clashes that took place in the district in December last year. "I have only served sensitive places throughout my career like Bantwal, Chickmagalur, Kundapur, Udupi and Honnavar as CPI and Mangaluru as ACP City Crime Branch, so I hope my experience will come into play in eliminating these factors from the region" he added.
"I had served this place in 2002-2003 and I know that people here are very nice and co-operative I' am looking forward towards building good relationship and rapport between public and the department".
Speaking of his passion for body building he said "I started body building at the age of 16 and I have work tirelessly to maintain my body over the years, I have never used any protein supplements or steroids, what you see is a completely natural body" he says with an smile on his face.
