Mr. Gurjinder Pal Singh, a 1994-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre, has been promoted to the rank of Additional Director General of Police (ADGP).
Officer Singh has held various key positions in the state police force and has been instrumental in law enforcement and security management. His promotion reflects his contributions to policing, administration, and public safety in Chhattisgarh.
Mr. Singh’s career has been marked by both commendation and controversy. In 2021, he faced allegations of corruption, extortion, and sedition, leading to his compulsory retirement. However, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and the Delhi High Court later reinstated him, citing insufficient evidence for the charges. The Supreme Court upheld this reinstatement, emphasizing the need for procedural accountability in such cases.
Despite these challenges, Mr. Singh’s professional record includes significant contributions to law enforcement in Chhattisgarh. His anticipated promotion to DGP reflects a recognition of his service and the resolution of prior disputes concerning his conduct.
