Bhaskar Rao
Bhaskar Rao is an Indian police officer who served as the Commissioner of Bangalore City Police, from 2 August 2019 to 1 August 2020. Rao comes from Bangalore and was previously Additional Director General of Police in the Karnataka State Reserve Police.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Rao was criticised for not following Indian government guidelines on social distancing after he attended a church service in May 2020.
Upon the request of Bhaskar Rao, a music video was developed by filmmaker Yogaraj Bhat to encourage volunteers and philanthropists who help people fight Corona disease. In June 2020, Bhaskar Rao felicitated a police constable named G.N. Ravikumar, for rescuing migrant workers and their children, when a tree collapsed on their makeshift shelter at Palace grounds.
