New Delhi: The Centre has approved a series of personnel changes in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), including an extension of tenure for a DIG-rank officer, promotions of two officers from Superintendent of Police (SP) to Deputy Inspector General (DIG), and an extended posting for an Indian Telecom Service officer.
The move comes amid increasing deployment of the CBI in a wide range of investigations, making senior-level postings crucial for continuity and governance.
Tenure Extension for DIG Officer in CBI
The tenure of Murali Rambha (IPS: 2011, Tamil Nadu cadre), currently serving as DIG in the CBI, has been extended.
His new tenure will now continue from 08 July 2026 to 07 July 2027, extending his service in the post by one year.
The extension has been granted by relaxing the IPS Tenure Policy, allowing him to complete an extended eight-year tenure in the agency.
