When Madhukar Gupta, an alumnus of Allahabad University, decided
to appear for the civil services examination in 1970, he was only following a
norm set by his grandfather, father, uncles and brothers.
His
grandfather, Lala Prasadi Lal, was in imperial service, an euphemism for the
civil services under the British rule. His father, Dr Anandswarup Gupta, had an
illustrious career as an Indian Police officer (1939 batch), which included
serving as the Founder-Director of the Bureau of Police Research and
Development (BPR&D). Four of his uncles were also in the premier service.
