• IPS officer Raja Babu Singh addressed madrasa students in Bhopal, encouraging them to read the Bhagavad Gita along with the Quran for enlightenment.
• Singh emphasized environmental protection, scientific temper, and tolerance during his Republic Day address to students via video conference.
• The officer, who served in Kashmir, stressed the importance of maintaining India's unity and integrity from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
• Earlier, Singh had mandated Bhagavad Gita and Ramcharitmanas reading sessions for police trainees in Madhya Pradesh.
