Lucknow: Senior IPS officer K Satya Narayan, a 1998-batch officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, has applied for voluntary retirement from service (VRS), citing personal reasons. Currently serving as Additional Director General (ADG) in the Traffic Directorate, Narayan is scheduled to retire in October 2027, but has sought an early exit to return to his hometown and pursue social service.

Distinguished Career in Policing

Hailing from Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, Narayan is widely respected for his contributions to counter-Naxal operations in eastern Uttar Pradesh. During his tenure as Superintendent of Police (SP) in Mirzapur and Jhansi, he was instrumental in neutralising Maoist activities and fortifying the intelligence network in previously volatile zones.

Later, as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Meerut Range and Inspector General (IG) of Varanasi and Chitrakoot Dham Ranges, he oversaw operations in areas marked by communal sensitivity, organised crime, and gang violence. In Jhansi and Meerut, his policing strategies were credited with restoring law and order during turbulent periods.

He also made a notable impact on crowd management and traffic control during large-scale religious events, including the Kumbh Mela, earning praise for his operational planning and public safety measures.

A Policeman with a Literary Pen

Beyond policing, K Satya Narayan is a published author and translator. He has penned eight books, including ‘Naxalism and Society’ in English, reflecting on his field experiences and societal impacts of extremism.

In a significant literary contribution, he also translated 100 poems of the renowned Hindi poet Kedarnath Singh into Telugu, bridging cultural and linguistic narratives through literature.

Return to Hometown & Future Aspirations

In a conversation with Times of India, Narayan revealed that his decision stemmed from a desire to care for his ageing mother, especially after the passing of his farmer father. “I want to dedicate myself to social service and contribute to the greater good of society. Hence, I have decided to go back to my roots,” he said.

When asked about a possible entry into politics, he responded, “I cannot say no, but I will think about it in the future.” His openness to political engagement has already sparked speculation about his next chapter.
