The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday appointed B Srinivas (IPS:1990:JK) as the new intelligence chief replacing Abdul Gani Mir (IPS:1994:JK) who has been sent to police headquarters.
An order issued Tuesday by the state Home Department made the announcement of Srinivas’ appointment as the new Additional Director General of CID.
The appointment and transfer orders come just days after militants abducted eight people whose relatives were working in the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday night. The kidnapped kin were released Friday.
The transfer order resulted in speculation, especially after the state police came under fire for failing to gather intelligence.
It is a homecoming for Srinivas as he had successfully served as inspector general (CID) for nearly five years, a period during which many terror modules were busted.
However, after the PDP-led alliance government came to power, he was replaced by Mir.
Mir has been asked to join police headquarters in the rank of additional director general of police.
