At just seven months into her pregnancy, Delhi Police constable Sonika Yadav stunned the nation by lifting an astonishing 145 kg at the All India Police Weightlifting Cluster 2025-26 in Andhra Pradesh, securing the bronze medal and proving that motherhood need not slow down ambition.
The feat isn’t limited to the deadlift: she also registered lifts of 125 kg in the squat and 80 kg in the bench press. With rigorous medical supervision and a determined mindset, she told reporters she refused to let pregnancy become a setback.
A 2014-batch officer currently posted with the Community Policing Cell, Yadav concealed her condition at the event, wearing loose clothing so no one would anticipate the magnitude of her achievement.
Her story has ignited a powerful conversation on female strength, agency, and how physical ability and pregnancy can coexist with careful planning and support.
