Senior IPS officer Satwant Atwal Trivedi (IPS:1996:HP) has been entrusted with the additional responsibility of the Director General of Police (DGP) on Tuesday. Currently serving as the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, Trivedi also holds an additional charge as ADGP CID.
In compliance with a directive from the Himachal Pradesh High Court earlier in the day, IPS officer Sanjay Kundu (IPS:1989:HP) has been transferred from the position of DGP by the Governor of Himachal Pradesh. Kundu will now serve as the Principal Secretary in the state’s Ayush department.
This decision comes in response to the High Court’s order on December 26, which mandated the state government to reassign the state police chief and the Kangra superintendent of police. The move aims to prevent any potential influence on an investigation into a complaint by a businessman regarding a threat to his life.
