Isha Singh, 26, is the daughter of 1985-batch Maharashtra-cadre IPS officer Yogesh Pratap Singh, who resigned in 2004 after allegedly being shunted out for exposing corruption. Her mother Abha Singh, a former Indian Postal Service officer, quit the service to become a lawyer and activist in Mumbai.
