Joshi, who brings over 30 years of experience in the general insurance sector, has held several key positions including branch and divisional head across various regional offices.

Krishnamurthy Subramanian

In a major move, the Government of India has terminated Dr. Krishnamurthy Subramanian’s tenure as Executive Director (India) at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with immediate effect.

According to an order issued by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) dated April 30, the decision has been approved without citing any specific reason for the abrupt removal.

Subramanian, who took charge as India’s representative at the IMF on November 1, 2022, was nominated to the post in August 2022. His termination comes ahead of the IMF Executive Board meeting scheduled for May 9, where funding to Pakistan is set to be reviewed. India is expected to oppose any further financial support to Pakistan, citing ongoing concerns around terror financing.

Before his IMF appointment, Subramanian served as the Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India from 2018 to 2021. The IMF’s Executive Board, composed of 24 members, is responsible for overseeing the Fund’s daily operations and major policy decisions.

Telangana HC refuses bail to T Prabhakar Rao in tapping case

Ex- IPS officer T Prabhakar Rap


An absconding Telangana’s retired IPS officer, T Prabhakar Rao IPS, is now scurrying for legal cover, but to no avail. The Telangana High
Court on Friday dismissed his petition seeking protection from arrest in the telephone tapping case. Rao is the prime accused in the case
and is presently hiding in the United States of America.

Justice J. Sreenivas Rao of the Telangana High Court dismissed the bail petition moved by him.

Rao’s crisis deepened after his passport was revoked by the Union government recently and the INTERPOL issued a red-corner notice
seeking his detention. It is when Rao ran to the Telangana HC seeking protection from arrest when he returns to India. Rao said that he
would co-operate with the investigators after coming to India but wanted an anticipatory bail. But the HC remained unmoved.

Prabhakar Rao was a high-flying IPS officer holding key posts like Intelligence chief during the previous BRS government in Telangana.
He was the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) chief on extension of service when the Congress party came to power in December 2023.

But his allegedly objectionable action to placate his political masters turned the tide against him after the change of political regime.
A criminal case was registered by the Hyderabad police on a complaint alleging telephone tapping at the behest of politicians in power during BRS rule. In the following action, Rao emerged as the prime accused. He, however, had left the country by then.
