Deepak Rao, police historian and family friend, reminisces about Roy's growing up years


Deepak Rao
Long before Himanshu Roy became a top cop, he was known among his colleagues as 'officer HR Dasondi'. In the prime of his career, he, however, preferred to be called by his first name instead - given to him by his father, Dr Dasondi. The inspiration for the name came from Himanshu Rai, one of the leading pioneers of Indian cinema.
