Sanjeev Raina, a 1987-batch ITBP officer, has been appointed as Additional Director General (ADG) in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, which guards the India-China LAC. This is only the second time a non-IPS officer has been elevated to this position within the force.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an order on Wednesday regarding Raina’s elevation to the ADG rank, alongside another officer, Inspector General (IG) Jaspal Singh, for the panel year 2024. Raina, who was serving as IG in the force’s central sector headquartered in Bhopal, has now been posted as the ADG of the ITBP’s western command, based in Chandigarh.
Raina will hold his new position for just over a month, as he is set to retire next month. Jaspal Singh will be appointed ADG following Raina’s retirement, but he is also due to retire in a few months, in December.
