Uttar Pradesh is likely to see its third consecutive acting Director General of Police (DGP) as the state government is yet to send a panel of IPS officers to the Centre for final selection. The government is considering the names of six IPS officers of 1987 and 1988 batches, with Vijaya Kumar or Anand Kumar, the two senior-most IPS officers of 1988 batch, expected to be appointed for the time being. The state is also mulling over a regular DGP following contempt pleas filed in the Supreme Court over the appointment of “acting” DGPs in violation of apex court orders.
Third ‘acting’ DGP in a row for U.P. likely
