There is speculation that Dineshwar Sharma, who recently retired as Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief, may be appointed as Governor. A 1979 batch Kerala-cadre IPS officer, Sharma completed his term last month and declined an extension offer. It is said that he may be given one of the several vacant posts of Governor, either in the North East or closer to Delhi. In the past, many IB chiefs after retirement were given gubernatorial assignments.
