New Delhi (05.10.2024): If some well-placed sources are to be believed the Government of Uttarakhand may pick Deepam Seth (IPS: 1995: UD) as the next DGP of the state; a key position that has been under ad hoc arrangement since Asok Kumar (IPS: 1989: UD) retired on 30.11.2023. Currently, Abhinav Kumar (IPS: 1996: UD) is holding the additional charge of the head of the police force w.e.f. 01.12.2023. 
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has sent a panel of three names to the state government which is all set to pick as a regular DGP any time now. The UPSC’s panel includes Deepam Seth (IPS: 1995: UD), Dr P V K Prasad (IPS: 1995: UD) and Amit Sinha (IPS: 1997: UD).  Acting DGP Abhinav Kumar is not included in this list.
