In a new order issued by the Government of Telangana, the State government appointed retired IPS officer T Prabhakar Rao as the Chief of Telangana Intelligence.
The Chief Secretary of the Government, Somesh Kumar, said in an official statement on Saturday, “Prabhakar Rao IPS (Retd), chief of operations (Intelligence) (SIB), shall look after the work of IGP (Intelligence) until further orders.”
Before the appointment of Prabhakar Rao, it was highly speculated within the police department that the current intelligence Chief Naveen Chand, an inspector- general rank officer of the 1996 batch, might get an extension after his retirement on Saturday.
