Kerala Police Leadership Changes After Nitin Agrawal's RetirementPreviousNext

Following the retirement of Director General of Kerala Fire and Rescue Services Nitin Agrawal, the Kerala government promoted Suresh Rajpurohit and S. Sreejith to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP). Rajpurohit's promotion is proforma as he is on Central deputation, while Sreejith continues as Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services. The suspension of ADGP M.R. Ajith Kumar has left the Managing Director post at Kerala State Beverages Corporation vacant. Agrawal praised Kerala Police as a model force during his farewell.
