Hyderabad (24.09.2025): With Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Dr Jitender (IPS:1992:TG) retiring on September 30, 2025, the spotlight has shifted on the officers in the race for the post. The contest seems to have narrowed to two officers -- C V Anand (IPS:1991:TG), Commissioner of Hyderabad and B Shivadhar Reddy (IPS:1994:TG), the state’s Intelligence chief.
Multiple insiders indicate that CV Anand currently holds a slight edge over Shivadhar Reddy in the DGP race. Anand, a decorated officer known for his reforms in the Hyderabad Police Commissionerate, has held several high-profile postings, including Cyberabad Commissioner and Director of Civil Supplies. B Shivadhar Reddy is also seen as a strong candidate. A 1994-batch IPS officer, he has had an extensive career spanning intelligence, law & order, and policy-level policing.
