In a first, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Jammu and Kashmir Government approved the induction of 31 Jammu and Kashmir Police Services (JKPS) officers into Indian Police Services (IPS). It includes two retired police officers too.

Also, the government reserved two posts for officers, including one serving and one retired, who have been facing court cases and inquiries.

This is the first time in the state that such a large number of officers have made it to the IPS at one go.

Inductions were approved in a joint meeting of the UPSC, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Jammu and Kashmir Government held in New Delhi. It lasted over an hour. Officials said, “All officers inducted into IPS today belong to 1999 batch. Now, MHA will decide year of induction, and some may become DIGs.”

“Nearly half a dozen inducted officers will become eligible for promotion as DIGs,” officials added.

With the UPSC deciding to reserve one post for RK Bhat, SSP, who had missed out on induction in the last meeting held in July 2021, as he is facing inquiry in a case, 31 JKPS officers were finally inducted into IPS.

They include Maqsood-ul-Zaman, Mubassir Latifi Ameer, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Suhail Munawar Mir, Rashmi Wazir, Rajeshwar Singh, Sandeep Wazir, Anita Sharma, Sameer Rekhi, Jatinder Singh Johar, Anil Kumar Magotra, Swaran Singh Kotwal, Zahid Naseem Manhas, Dr Koshal Kumar, Ashok Kumar Badwal, Showkat Ahmed Dar, Parshotam Kumar Sharma, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Bakar Hussain Samoon, Firdous Iqbal, Ajaz Ahmad Bhat, Ranjit Singh Samyal, Mohammad Yaseen Kichloo, Rajinder Kumar Gupta, Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Sanjeev Kumar Khajuria, Rajesh Bali, Zubair Ahmed Khan, Sanjay Kumar Kotwal, Mumtaz Ahmed and Mohammad Aslam.

Two of them including Anil Kumar Magotra and Parshotam Kumar Sharma have retired from the services while two others have opted out of induction.

Besides RK Bhat, one post from the previous quota has also been reserved for Manohar Singh, who too has retired from the services.
