J&K DGP RR Swain to Retire in September; Speculation Begins on Successor

With DGP of Jammu and Kashmir RR Swain (IPS:1991:AGMUT) set to retire at the end of September 2024, speculation is mounting about who will become the next Police Chief of the J&K Union Territories. Three names being discussed in the power corridors are Pankaj Saxena (IPS:1992:AGMUT), Deepak Kumar (IPS:1993:AGMUT), and Vijay Kumar (IPS:1997:AGMUT).

Given the sensitivity of Jammu and Kashmir, the central government will choose an officer with significant experience and familiarity with the region, ensuring they can effectively implement its policies.

As time progresses, new names may emerge in the power corridors, and the central government might surprise with its choice, as it has done many times in the past.
