Tamil Nadu Transfers DVAC Chief A. Arun; IG Mageshwari Assigned Additional Charge
The Tamil Nadu government transferred ADGP A. Arun from his role as Director of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) to Director of the Tamil Nadu Police Academy in Chennai, effective immediately. Arun, who served as Greater Chennai Police Commissioner and was appointed DVAC chief in late May, was reassigned within two months. Inspector General C.

Arun's earlier transfer during the 2026 elections followed Election Commission directions amid political concerns.
