A curious case has emerged in Delhi Police following the transfer of 12 IPS and 6 DANIPS officers on Wednesday (August 20, 2025). Among them, Guguloth Amrutha (IPS:2011:AGMUT) has been shifted from Additional Commissioner of Police, Economic Offences Wing (EOW), to Additional CP, Vigilance.
What makes the development unusual is that just two days earlier, on August 18, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued her central deputation order. She had been appointed as Deputy Director/DIG in the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D). The MHA had also directed that she be relieved at the earliest to enable her to take up the new assignment.
Typically, officers posted on central deputation proceed to their new roles after wrapping up key assignments in the cadre. In Amrutha’s case, however, she has now been transferred within Delhi Police, which means she may have to assume her Vigilance posting only for a brief period before moving to her central deputation role.
