One paragraph

O. P. Singh served thirty-three years in the Indian Police Service, retiring in 2025 as the 41st Director General of Police, Haryana. Along the way he worked on field policing, cybercrime and economic offences, on sport and administration, and in the Chief Minister's Office; he served on a United Nations mission and at the Union finance ministry, where he had a hand in India's early anti-money-laundering rules. Trained in psychology, economics and English literature, he writes on how order is actually held — and why it more often fails from caution than from malice. He is the author of Say Yes to Sports, Hauslanama, Jin Dhoondha Tin Paaiyan and On the Record; three new books — The Fear Tax, The Audacity of Order and When the Crowd Holds the Camera — are forthcoming.
