Northeast IPS Officer’s DAUGHTERS Shine at All India Open Karate Championship

TWO daughters of Robin Hibu, a distinguished IPS officer and Joint Commissioner of Delhi Police, excelled at the 10th All India Open Karate Championship 2014, held at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi on August 17-18, 2014.

Miss Anna Hibu showcased her skills by defeating Miss Ananya Kumari from Gurgaon, Haryana, in five rounds of the Sub Juniors Karate Skills Demonstration (Kata) for children under 8 years old. 

Meanwhile, Hibu Abyang clinched a gold medal in fighting (Kumite) for the under 11 girls’ Sub-Junior category, triumphing over Miss Tanima Biswas from Kolkata, West Bengal, after four intense rounds.

Their father, Robin Hibu IPS, expressed pride in his daughters’ accomplishments, stating, “Anna and Cathy have trained rigorously in karate every day for the past three years after school. I’ve witnessed their growing confidence, self-defense skills, and concentration. I feel assured that they can take care of themselves against road romeos and muggers with their karate kicks and punches. At least I won’t worry about their safety as they grow up.” Robin Hibu also serves as the Nodal Officer for the North East in Delhi.
