INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Akun Sabharwal’s journey began against the backdrop of a disciplined upbringing, shaped by a father who served in the Indian Air Force. Born in the vibrant city of Patiala, Akun’s formative years were marked by a unique educational experience, attending Kendriya Vidyalaya schools in various cities across India, including Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi, Assam, Chandigarh, and Ooty. This diverse schooling not only fostered a broad perspective but also honed his analytical skills, particularly in mathematics. Despite excelling in this subject, Akun made the pivotal decision to pursue a career in medicine, ultimately graduating with a degree in dental surgery.

With his academic credentials in hand, Akun sought to make a mark beyond the medical field and took on the challenge of the civil services examination as an intern. His determination paid off when he secured an impressive rank of 33 nationwide, qualifying him to join the Indian Police Services. Following his training in the Kamrup district of Assam, where he was actively involved in anti-extremist operations in the Sadiya and Charaido sub-divisions, his commitment to public safety became evident. After completing his training, he was assigned his first posting in Anantapur district, where he began his illustrious career in law enforcement.

Akun’s professional path intertwined with his personal life when he met his future wife, Smita, who was also a batch mate at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie. Their arranged marriage marked the beginning of a partnership that would support their demanding careers. Between 2006 and 2007, Akun took on the role of a special duty officer in Warangal, where he played a crucial part in managing anti-left wing extremist operations. This experience laid the groundwork for his subsequent position as Superintendent of Police in Vishakhapatnam from 2007 to 2009, during which he led a series of intense operations against CPI (Maoist) cadres, resulting in significant neutralizations and numerous surrenders.

In April 2012, Akun transitioned to Hyderabad Police as Deputy Commissioner for Hyderabad South, stepping into a tumultuous landscape marked by communal tensions and curfews that persisted for nine months. His career continued to flourish as he served as the Joint Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and Commandant of an Armed Police Battalion, roles that demanded both integrity and leadership. His tenure at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy as Assistant Director (Outdoors) allowed him to shape the training of new IPS officers, ensuring the next generation was well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

In April 2015, Akun took the helm at the Drugs Control Administration in Telangana, where he spearheaded numerous raids on pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and medical establishments to combat malpractice. His initiative, “No Bill, No Pill,” aimed to address the critical issue of medication dispensation without prescriptions. Later that year, he also assumed the role of Director of Excise and Prohibition, where his efforts uncovered the illicit distillation and sale of liquor in the state. Perhaps most notably, Akun played a pivotal role in revealing a drug racket within the Telugu film industry, bringing a long-standing issue into the public eye. Beyond his professional commitments, Akun is an avid cyclist and marathon runner, having completed seven marathons across India, showcasing his dedication to both physical fitness and public service.
