Lucknow: In a series of strategic moves, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has made several key transfers within the Indian Police Service (IPS). This comes shortly after the transfer of 16 IPS officers on Wednesday, and once again, 7 more IPS officers have been reshuffled in the state. Additionally, 20 PPS officers have also been transferred as part of the ongoing administrative overhaul in UP.
Among the significant changes, Amit Verma, previously holding the position of Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP) in Lucknow (LO), has now been appointed as the new JCP Crime. His predecessor, Bablu Kumar, who was previously serving as JCP Crime, has been reassigned to the role of the new JCP LO in Lucknow Police Commissionerate.
Further changes include Upendra Kumar Agarwal, who had been posted at the Lucknow Police Commissionerate for an extended period, now being promoted to Inspector General (IG) Security. Vinod Kumar Singh, formerly the IG Security, has been shifted to the role of Additional Commissioner of Police Crime and Headquarters in the Kanpur Police Commissionerate.
The transfers also saw Pradeep Kumar being appointed as the SP of the Economic Crimes Research Organization (ECRO) in Varanasi, while SM Qasim Abidi has been appointed as Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Kanpur Commissionerate. Additionally, Manoj Kumar Awasthi has been assigned the role of SP LO and Headquarters Director General of Police in Lucknow.
