A privileged life


Kiran Bedi was unsparing in enforcing discipline on the roads. She would travel in her police car with a microphone and loud speaker and publicly admonish drivers who were breaking the road rules.

KIRAN Bedi knew from young that she was destined to “be somebody”. As a girl, she led a privileged life, not because she grew up in wealth but because her parents gave her wings to fly.

She was born in 1949 in Amritsar, Punjab, at a time when girls in India were groomed to become good wives.
