Two senior IPS officers, Keshav Ram Chaurasia (IPS:2003:J&K) and Prem Kumar Gautam (IPS:2005:UP), have had their deputation tenures extended and regularized within the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Notably, these extensions were granted in compliance with the Supreme Court’s directive dated August 14, 2023, as both officers were actively involved in the inquiry and investigation of the Coal Block Allocation cases.
Specifically, Keshav Ram Chaurasia’s tenure as DIG (CBI) was regularized from June 7, 2016, until August 25, 2023, while Prem Kumar Gautam’s tenure as DIG (CBI) was regularized from January 28, 2019, until September 30, 2023.
This development was formalized through an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training on Friday, September 15, 2023.
