In a significant development, R Prasad Meena, 1993 batch IPS officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre and currently serving as the Special Director General (SDG) of the Border Security Force (BSF), has been appointed as the Director General (Investigation) at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
The appointment is effective from the date of assumption of charge, with his tenure lasting until his superannuation on July 31, 2025, or until further orders are issued. This move is expected to bolster the NHRC’s investigative capabilities, particularly in upholding human rights standards across the country.
R Prasad Meena’s extensive experience in law enforcement and national security, particularly his current role with the BSF, is expected to bring valuable expertise to his new position at the NHRC, which plays a crucial role in addressing human rights violations and ensuring justice for affected individuals.
