IPS officer Hema Karunakaran dies of cancer
Hema Karunankaran (45), a senior IPS officer and deputy commissioner of
police (law and order), Coimbatore, died after a prolonged illness at
the Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH) in Madurai on Sunday.
A native of Karupayurani in Madurai district, Hema is the wife of
Coimbatore collector Karunakaran. An official at the GRH said that she
was terminally ill with breast cancer in its advanced stage, coupled
with distal metastases (cancer that has spread from the original tumour
to distant organs). She was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai
for the past several days and was shifted to Madurai on Saturday night
after she suffered brain death. She died on Sunday morning. She is
survived by her husband Karunakaran and two sons.
A 1997 batch
Tamil Nadu Police Service personnel, recruited as deputy superintendent
of police, Hema was conferred Indian Police Service in 2004. "She was of
the rarest breed of sincere, honest and efficient police officers,
diligent at solving cases with a humane approach," said a senior police
official in Madurai. She particularly received praise from various
quarters in handling cases related to women harassment. A large number
of police officials from Coimbatore visited Madurai and paid homage to
her. Later, her body was taken to native and final rites were performed.
Hema started her career as assistant commissioner of police (ACP),
dowry prohibition cell, Madurai city and later as ACP, prohibition
enforcement wing. She also held stints as superintendent of police in
the special investigation team, Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Board,
CB-CID, before assuming office of deputy commissioner of Coimbatore City
in December 2010.
She was awarded the Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister's Police Medal for Excellence in Public Service in 2011. She
was also awarded the 'Uthamar Gandhi' medal in 2002 for curtailing
illicit liquor trade in Madurai city.
Chief minister J
Jayalalithaa on Sunday condoled the death of Hema Karunakaran. In a
message to the Coimbatore collector, she said, "I was grieved to learn
about the demise of your beloved wife Hema Karunakaran, IPS, after a
brief illness. Although no words of solace would really be adequate in
such circumstances, I wish to share your grief by conveying my deepest
condolences to you and to all the other members of your family. I pray
that the Almighty may give you the strength and fortitude to withstand
this personal sorrow. May her soul rest in peace."
