Senior IPS officer Lovely Katiyar (IPS:2008:RJ), currently serving as DIG in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has been prematurely repatriated to her parent cadre Rajasthan.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on March 6, 2026, the competent authority has approved her premature repatriation to the parent cadre.
Katiyar has been serving in the CBI since July 14, 2021, when she assumed charge as Superintendent of Police (SP). Her tenure in the agency was initially fixed for four years.
However, in June 2022, when she was appointed as DIG in the CBI, her tenure was extended to five years, up to July 14, 2026.
With the latest order, she will now return to her parent cadre Rajasthan after serving nearly five years in the central agency.
