Change In Platter: The new DGP would be in the position for only six months as only a little time is left for his retirement
Thursday night’s reshuffling of seventeen officials of the Indian Police Service (IPS) in the state has had some major changes to the state policing. The top brass of the state police has been completely revamped and the old faithfuls of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot – men with huge experience and impeccable reputation – are back in the driving seat. Interestingly, the new DGP would be in the position for only six months as only a little time is left for his retirement.
Director General of Police OP Galhotra - who was in office for nearly thirteen months – has been replaced by Director General Kapil Garg. Garg has been serving as Chairman of the Police Housing and Construction Corporation.
A cursory look at Garg’s career informs he is one of the officials trusted by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to head the force. During the last Ashok Gehlot government (2008-2013), Garg served as ADG-ATS and Crime Branch successively. However, with the change in power, he was shifted to the State Crime Records Bureau, considered a cold posting and was kept out of the routine policing for the past five years. Interestingly, Garg received the Police Medal in 2001 and the President Police medal in 2009, both the times when Ashok Gehlot was the Chief Minister.
Gehlot’s manfriday and another trusted general is also back to a major position in the state police. BL Soni, transferred to the position of ADG Crime, is another official who enjoys Gehlot’s trust when it comes to impeccable policing. Soni was chosen as the first Commissioner when the Commissionerate system of Policing was introduced in Jaipur in 2011.
Another senior official – ADG Umesh Mishra – has been brought to an important position in the police setup – Intelligence. Mishra, who was serving as ADG – ATS and SOG – had even served in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, disaster relief force and CID Civil Rights during the previous government regime.
