Ajay Kumar Singh, a senior IPS officer from the 1989 batch, has taken over as Jharkhand's new DGP, replacing Anurag Gupta, who was removed due to past election-related misconduct. Singh's appointment comes ahead of Jharkhand's upcoming elections, scheduled to take place in two phases on November 13 and 20, 2024. As DGP, Singh will play a crucial role in maintaining law and order during the electoral process. His selection was made from a panel of three IPS officers recommended by the state government. This change in leadership aims to ensure fair conduct during the assembly elections.
