Childhood dream or shortcut to crime? Failures made him a vicious criminal
The story narrated by accused Yashovardhan during interrogation in front of the investigating officers seems like a film script. Former Chief Secretary of Uttarakhand S. Being born in the family of Ramaswami, a retired senior officer, he had a strong craze for red lights and strong uniforms since childhood. He worked day and night for years to pass the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) examination.
