Following the suspension of Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar (IPS:1990:TG), the Telangana State government on Sunday (03.12.2023) issued orders appointing Ravi Gupta (IPS:1990:TG) as the new Director-General of Police for the State.
Mr. Gupta assumed the role of Director-General of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in December 2022 and concurrently held the additional charge of Director General (Vigilance and Enforcement).
The decision to appoint Ravi Gupta transpired shortly after the Election Commission of India (ECI) instructed the Chief Secretary of Telangana to take disciplinary action against DGP Anjani Kumar. The suspension of Mr. Kumar was based on the grounds of his meeting with Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy at his residence during the vote counting on Sunday afternoon.
