Muharram: IAS topper Tina Dabi hits streets in ‘combat role’

Mumbai: IAS topper Tina Dabi Khan has been wowing her hundreds of thousands of fans on social media with her adorable posts up until now. While some have been smitten by her beauty, others have found her an embodiment of ‘beauty with brains.’ Almost all her fans find her a real inspiration with her Instagram timeline often flooded with requests for advice on how to crack the civil services exams. However, Tina Dabi Khan and her IAS topper Kashmiri husband Athar Aamir Khan were seen in unusually different roles recently as both of them took it upon themselves to hit streets to maintain law and order for Muharram.

Tina shared a series of photos on Instagram where she was seen standing with cops and what appeared to be a group of paramilitary forces. Dressed in a navy blue printed tunic with tights, Tina was seen standing with a protective helmet and a cane.

While sharing her photos, Tina wrote, “Glimpses from duty scenes for maintaining law and order in the area of my jurisdiction.”

While Tina did not elaborate on the occasion that had warranted such a security beef-up, a similar Instagram post by Athar made it abundantly clear that it was to do with Muslims marking Muharram in remembrance of the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad’s (Peace Be Upon Him) grandchildren along with other family members in the battle of Karbala. 

In the photo shared by Athar, he was seen walking with a group of policemen. His caption read, “Moharram Duty.” When a user asked him to explain what his ‘Moharram Duty’ entailed, the young IAS officer replied, “To ensure everything is smooth and peaceful and law and order is maintained.”

Both Tina and Athar had secured All India number one and two ranks in the UPSC exams in 2016. Both fell in love during their training period and got married last year before being posted in Bhilwara in Rajasthan as SDMs.
