IPS officer Nupur Prasad, who led the CBI probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, has been selected to receive the President’s Medal for Distinguished Service. Both outlets report that the honour recognizes her service in connection with the investigation she headed.
The reporting frames the development as a formal recognition by the President’s office, with no additional dispute or controversy highlighted in either account. While the articles focus primarily on her role in leading the CBI investigation, they do not add new details about the investigation itself, her subsequent assignments, or the criteria used beyond the medal’s stated purpose.
Overall, the coverage is consistent in identifying the same individual, the same capacity—leading the CBI probe—and the same award. Differences are limited to wording and emphasis, rather than any substantive differences in facts.
