Joint commissioner of police (crime) Sadanand Date is set to join the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as special inspector general, after he was intimated about his new posting through a written order from the ministry of home affairs on Tuesday.
With Date joining the CRPF, the battle for the plum post of Jt CP (crime) has begun.
Date, a 1990-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who was injured in the 26/11 attacks while combating terrorists, is known to be upright and tolerates no nonsense. He headed the elite counterterrorism agency of the state, Force One, that was formed on the lines of the National Security Guards.
Date has worked in Mumbai at different ranks, including as chief of the Economic Offences Wing of the city police. He was also deputed with the Central Bureau of Investigation, and has worked on foreign deputation.The ministry's order states that Date should join his new posting with immediate effect. Now the director general of police (DGP) Sanjeev Dayal and Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria will take a call on when to relieve Date from his current post.
But with this news, the race for the crime branch chief's chair has hotted up. Those in the reckoning are joint commissioner (law and order) Dhananjay Kamlakar, special inspector general (with DGP office) Deven Bharti, inspector general of police (Konkan range) Amitabh Gupta, and joint commissioner of police (Thane) VV Laxminarayan.
While Kamlakar has earlier worked as deputy commissioner with the Mumbai crime branch, Bharti held the post as the branch's deputy commissioner and was later promoted to additional commissioner.
