Senior IPS officer Renuka Mishra (IPS:1990:UP), who has been without a formal posting for over a year, is reportedly considering voluntary retirement (VRS). She may take a final decision by the end of July 2025. Although she is due to retire on January 31, 2026, the prolonged wait for reassignment appears to have prompted her to consider early exit. At present, she is attached to the office of the Director General of Police (DGP), Uttar Pradesh.
Mishra last held the post of Chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board. However, following the constable recruitment paper leak that triggered major embarrassment for the state government, she was removed from the position and placed on a waiting list. Since March 5, 2024, she has not received any fresh assignment.
She remained on the waiting list from March 5 to July 18, 2024. Even afterward, she was merely attached to the DGP headquarters without being assigned any responsibilities—an unusual situation for an officer of Director General (DG) rank.
Notably, her husband, Aditya Mishra (IPS:1989:UP), retired from government service on June 30, 2025, after serving as DG, Fire Services.
