The Maharashtra government on Wednesday (19.06.2024) appointed senior IPS officer Nawal Bajaj (IPS:1995:MH) as head of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of State police. According to home department order, Bajaj was appointed as Additional Director General, ATS.
The post of Maharashtra ATS chief had been vacant for the last three months following Sadanand Date’s (IPS:1990:MH) appointment as Director General of the National Investigation Agency.
Bajaj was on central deputation as Joint Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. The Supreme Court last month (on May 9) had permitted to repatriate Bajaj in parent cadre after completion of his stint in the CBI.
After returning to Maharashtra, he was waiting for posting and has now been appointed as ADG Maharashtra ATS, the official said.
He has previously held significant positions in the cadre, including Joint Commissioner of Police (Administration), Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Branch), Additional Commissioner (Protection & Security), Additional Commissioner (South Region) and Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1) in Mumbai Police force.
