Currently, Razia is posted as an assistant engineer in the electricity department of the Bihar government. After clearing the 64th Bihar Public Service Commission exams, she was one of the 40 candidates to be selected for the post of DSP in Bihar Police.

Razia is the daughter of a single mother as her father passed away in 2016. She expressed to have always aspired to be in the police force.

Women shy away from reporting to the police any incident of crime against them. I will try to ensure that such cases are reported," said Razia, according to a report by India Today.

Razia sees her appointment as a very important opportunity to address and be able to work on societal problems like the low education rate among women, especially within the Muslim community. She urged the adults to be supportive of their children aspiring to achieve their dreams.
