Lucknow, April 6 (IANS) Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Chiranjeev Nath Sinha has become the first police officer in the state to adopt a school.

Sinha is known to be a passionate animal lover. He had made headlines when he fed stray animals during the Covid lockdowns.
He was also appointed brand ambassador of the Lucknow Zoo and he encouraged the "adopt an animal" scheme. He has been working for environment and animals along with his regular police duties.
