In a major internal restructuring, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has redefined the duties and supervisory roles of its senior officers posted at the force’s headquarters in the CGO Complex, New Delhi. The move aims to streamline command and enhance operational coordination within the country’s largest central armed police force.
As per the revised structure, Inspectors General (IGs) of 13 key branches will now report to their designated Special Director Generals (Special DGs) or Additional Director Generals (ADGs). The Director General (DG) and ADGs may also assign additional responsibilities as required.
Vitul Kumar(IPS:1993:UP), Special DG (Operations), has been entrusted with the most extensive supervisory role. He will oversee the IGs of Operations, Intelligence, CoBRA, VIP Security, and Rapid Action Force (RAF).
Zaki Ahmed(IPS:1993:UP), Special DG (Administration), will supervise the IGs of Administration, Establishment, Communication, and Medical divisions.
Deepak Kumar(IPS:1994:AM), Special DG (Training), has been tasked with overseeing the Training Headquarters and the CRPF Academy.
Meanwhile, Sandeep Khirwar (IPS:1995:HY), ADG (Headquarters), will handle critical administrative functions, supervising the IGs of Purse, Works, Provisioning, and the Financial Advisor (FA).
Avtar Singh Shahi has been posted as Inspector General (IG) of the Border Security Force’s Frontier Headquarters in Delhi, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced this week.
A career BSF officer, Shahi joined the force as an Assistant Commandant and has risen through the ranks over more than three decades of service. He was serving as IG (Frontier Headquarters — Special Ops) in Odisha before the Delhi posting.
Shahi is a highly decorated officer. He was awarded the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service in August 2025 — one of the highest honours for long and exceptional service in policing — having earlier received the President’s Police Medal for Meritorious Service in 2018. The Ministry of Home Affairs’ list of medal awardees includes his name.
During his field career, Shahi has served across sensitive theatres of operations — from Kashmir to the southern tip of India — and has led counter-infiltration and counter-terrorism operations while commanding units in border and internal-security roles. He is regarded within the force as an operationally strong leader who keeps a tight focus on discipline and troop morale.
The Delhi Frontier Headquarters is a key formation within the BSF’s organisational structure, responsible for oversight of front-line deployments, operational coordination and administrative decisions in its area of responsibility. As IG (Ftr HQ), Shahi will play a central role in both policy implementation and operational readiness for units under his command.
Officials say the posting underlines the Centre’s trust in Shahi’s operational experience and leadership at a time when internal and border security demands robust coordination. He is expected to assume charge of his new responsibilities in the coming days.

With these promotions, the total number of DGP-rank officers in Haryana will increase to seven.
At present, the DG-rank officers serving in the state include Mohammad Akol, Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar, O.P. Singh, and Ajay Singhal.
Reportedly, most 1993-batch IPS officers across the country have already been promoted to the DG rank, and the process in Haryana is now nearing completion.
