New Delhi (19.02.2022):  The Maharashtra government on Friday appointed Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) chief Rajnish Seth as the DGP of Maharashtra in place of Sanjay Pandey, who was the acting DGP of the state for the past ten months. Rajnish Seth is 1988 batch IPS officer. The Bombay High Court pulled up the Maharashtra government last week for favouring Pandey, whose name did not make to the list of three officers shortlisted by the UPSC as per the Prakash Singh judgment.
The court had given the government time till Monday, February 21, to take a decision on DGP appointment.
Seth will retire in December 2023 and thus will have a long tenure as the DGP of the state. Sanjay Pandey, who the state government had relied on to conduct an enquiry against IPS officer Param Bir Singh, had taken over as the chief of the over 2 lakh-strong force on April 10, 2021, soon after the Antilia threat case emerged.
