Senior IPS officer Pushpendra Kumar has formally taken over as the new Inspector General of Police (IG), replacing RK Singh, who has been reassigned to Delhi following a recent cadre reshuffle.
A 2006-batch officer from the AGMUT cadre, Kumar was earlier serving as Joint Commissioner of Police for the Eastern Range in the Delhi Police.
Meanwhile, RK Singh, a 2004 batch officer, has been transferred to Delhi but has not yet assumed his new post. He continues to oversee duties as the Director General of Police (DGP) in Chandigarh after the transfer of former DGP Surendra Yadav in April. The position of UT DGP is vacant at present.
