Indianmandarins has reliably learnt that selection to Additional Director General post is underway and may be cleared soon. If some top sources are to be believed three IPS officers belonging to MP cadre have brighter prospects namely; Alok Pateria (IPS:1986:MP), Sudhir Kumar Saxena (IPS:1987:MP) and R K Tandon (IPS:1988:MP). All three had earlier worked with CBI at DIG and Jt Director level.

 

Presently, Pateria is working as ADG in CISF; Saxena is ADG, CRPF whereas Tandon is serving in cadre state of Madhya Pradesh.

 

It may be mentioned that CBI has one Special Director and three ADG elevel posts. Presently, M Nageshwar Rao (IPS:1986:OR) and Praveen Sinha (IPS:1988:GJ) are serving at ADG level and one ADG post is expected to be filled up shortly.

 

Though, two internal candidates (Jt Director) could have been considered for the ADG post but for some technical reasons their empanelment to hold ADG level post is stuck up.
