A 1983-batch Indian Police Service officer, Shivanand Jha, was on Wednesday appointed as the new director general of police (DGP) following the retirement of Pramod Kumar on February 28.
With this, Jha became the first full-time DGP to be appointed in the state since April 15, 2016, when the incumbent PC Thakur was transferred and replaced by an in charge director general of police PP Pandey.
Prior to this Jha headed the CID (Intelligence) as its DGP. He was also a member of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the 2002 riots and served as the police commissioner of Ahmedabad and Surat.
A petition in the Supreme Court by former state DGP Ribeiro had led to the state govt revoking the appointment of Pandey, following which Johri was appointed in November last year.
