One of India's top cops shocked colleagues by suddenly announcing he had decided to become a woman.
Inspector Dickie Panda is the inspector general of police in Lucknow, state capital of Uttar Pradesh.
But the hardened police chief who made a reputation for getting tough on crime suddenly turned up at work this month in women's clothes - and announced that he was now a woman.
The scandal was kept a secret until he decided to go to court to officially "adopt" his wife and make her his daughter so that he could continue to support her.
He said: "My wife Veena should not suffer now that I am a woman - and obviously we cannot remain married as we are both women - so I am officially declaring her my daughter."
He told the court he was going to give her �300 a month in maintenance.
