In Tirupati, a father-daughter duo won hearts online and made the headlines after they were captured in a candid moment. Yendluru Jessy Prasanthi, the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Guntur, was pleasantly surprised when she encountered her father, Circle Inspector Y Shyam Sundar, while on duty for an event organized by the Andhra State Police. The photo of the father saluting his daughter, who was his superior officer, became viral and brought tears to the viewer’s eyes.
In a report the Guntur DSP said that she wasn’t very comfortable when she noticed her father saluting her adding that her father was an inspiration.
The father-daughter duo are in Tirupati to attend the Ignite conference organized by the state police.
Jessy is a 2018 graduate who has been posted as the DSP for the past two years but had not once encountered her father while on duty. A similar incident took place recently in the neighbouring state of Telangana, where former Deputy Commissioner of Police AR Uma Maheshwara Sarma saluted his daughter Sindhu Sarma, who is the Superintendent of Police in Telangana.
