The government has shaunted Mukul Goel, who was on the post of DGP, late in the evening. Now till the new DGP is appointed, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar will take over as the acting DGP. After the removal of Mukul Goel, the market of discussions in the police headquarters has started heating up regarding the name of the new DGP.
If the DGP is chosen as the senior most, then the names of DG Intelligence DS Chauhan, RK Vishwakarma, GL Meena, Vishwajit Mohapatra, Anand Kumar and RP Singh are coming up.
If departmental sources are to be believed, the IPS posted on central deputation can also be made the new Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh.
