The approval for his repatriation was granted by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Election Commission of India. Effective from September 22nd, 2024, IPS Sharma is to hand over charge to the senior-most police officer in his district until a new Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) is appointed.
