Uttar Pradesh Advances Process to Appoint Permanent Director General of PolicePreviousNext

Uttar Pradesh is progressing toward appointing a permanent Director General of Police (DGP) after having five acting chiefs in four years. Senior state officials recently met with the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to finalize a panel of three senior IPS officers—Rajeev Krishna, Piyush Anand, and Renuka Mishra—based on seniority and eligibility. Rajeev Krishna, the current acting DGP since June 2023, is considered the frontrunner. The appointment will follow Supreme Court directives and involve administrative assessments and vigilance clearances before final approval by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
