Tina Dabi was previously married to IAS Athar Khan. The two Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers made the headlines when they got married in April 2018. Their wedding was attended by top politicians–Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, Union Ministers and then Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
However, the duo filed the application for divorce before the court in November 2020 with mutual consent.
Tina Dabi has completed her graduation from Delhi University’s Lady Shri Ram College. She became the first Dalit to top the prestigious civil services exam, that too in the first attempt.
