RK Gaur, the Press Information Officer in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s information wing, has retired after an illustrious 26-year career with the agency.

Gaur initially joined as an inspector on deputation from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in 1997. Although he officially retired in 2020 as a deputy superintendent of police and press information officer, the then CBI director, Rishi Kumar Shukla (Retd IPS: 1983: MP), recognizing Gaur’s profound understanding of the central probe agency’s operations, persuaded him to continue. Consequently, Gaur was engaged as a consultant on a contractual basis in the media section. This arrangement persisted through the tenure of Shukla’s successor, Subodh Jaiswal (Retd IPS: 1985: MH), who also extended Gaur’s contract until January of this year.

Throughout his service, Gaur adeptly balanced the responsibility of providing honest responses to journalists’ queries while ensuring that the agency’s perspective reached the public accurately.

Acknowledged with the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service, Gaur remained abreast of evolving technology, incorporating it seamlessly to effectively communicate with the media in the era of 24X7 news coverage.

In a recent development, Sumer Pratap Singh, an IPS officer from Haryana of the 2012 batch, has been appointed as the new Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) (Traffic & Security) in Chandigarh Police. The decision was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, following a proposal by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for Singh’s inter-cadre deputation to the AGMUT cadre.

The post of SSP (Traffic and Security) had been vacant since November 30 last year, after the departure of the previous SSP, Manisha Chaudhary (IPS:2011:HY). Subsequently, the administration temporarily assigned the additional responsibility of SSP Traffic to Chandigarh Police SSP Kanwardeep Kaur (IPS:2013:PB) before the official appointment of Sumer Pratap Singh. Singh, who was serving as the Deputy Commissioner of Police in Panchkula, overseeing the operations of the police headquarters, economic offenses wing, and all police stations within the district, will now assume the crucial role in Chandigarh.

MHA reminds defaulting states of SC guidelines on DGP appointment

Ministry of Home Affairs

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sent a letter to the Chief Secretaries of seven states—Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Odisha, and West Bengal—where temporary Directors General of Police (DGPs) are currently officiating despite the availability of eligible officers. The Union Home Secretary, emphasizing the Supreme Court’s (SC) directive on DGP appointments, has reminded these states that the appointment of temporary or acting DGPs should only occur in exceptional circumstances.

The letter underscores the SC’s guidelines, particularly those outlined in the Prakash Singh case, emphasizing that states should adhere to the apex court’s instructions to appoint regular DGPs with a fixed tenure of two years. The communication from the Ministry of Home Affairs reiterates that temporary or “acting DGPs” should be avoided, and their appointment should be reserved for exceptional situations in line with the SC’s directives.

The SC’s directives on DGP appointments are applicable to states, excluding Union Territories. Therefore, the Jammu and Kashmir administration is not included in this particular context.

While Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab have had temporary DGPs for almost or over a year, four other states—Uttarakhand, Odisha, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh—and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir have recently appointed “acting DGPs.” Notably, Uttar Pradesh has seen the appointment of four acting DGPs in the past 20 months.
