In a bureaucratic reshuffle in the police department, the Ashok Gehlot led state government has transferred and posted 2 IPS officers.
The department of personnel issued the transfer orders late on Monday night.
1995 batch IPS officer Biju George Joseph has been appointed as the next police commissioner of Jaipur. He was earlier posted as the ADG Vigilance in police headquarters.
He will be replacing Anand Srivastava, an IPS officer of 1994 batch, who has been made ADG Law and order. It is worth mentioning here that Mr. Srivastava was made the then Jaipur police commissioner soon after the Ashok Gehlot government came to power in the state in 2018.

He remained in this post for about two and a half years. Later, he was also given the responsibility of acting police commissioner for a few days. He has also been the Police Commissioner of Jodhpur.
Mr. Joseph has been awarded the Police Medal and the President’s Police Medal.
