Senior IPS officers Santosh Rastogi’s (IPS:1998:MH) tenure as Inspector General (IG) in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been extended for two years. According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday (21.03.2025), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the proposal of Ministry of Home Affairs to extend the deputation tenure of Mr Rastogi for two years beyond August 5, 2025 or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
Rastogi, who was appointed as IG in the NIA in August 2020 for a five-year term, has been granted this extension as his tenure was nearing completion.
