2011 batch IPS officer and renowned cyber crime expert in Uttar Pradesh police, Mr. Triveni Singh has taken VRS and retired from service. He is popularly known as ‘cybercop’ in the police department.

Despite his retirement, he remains committed to working in the field of cyber security.
He has solved many big cyber crime cases including investigation about anomalies in madrasas funding. It is unclear if he will continue as a member of the probe committee. He is also known for his expertise in handling financial and banking cyber frauds.
His voluntary retirement application, submitted in February this year for health reasons, was accepted on Thursday, according to senior police officials at the director general of police headquarters.
