Incumbent DGP and Head of Police Force (HoPF) Shankar Jiwal's colleague from the 1990 IPS batch, Seema Agrawal, is the top-ranked among the eight DGP-rank officers who are eligible to make the cut, sources said.

Jiwal's two-year tenure ends on August 31.

Letika Saran is the only woman officer who has headed the Tamil Nadu police, serving as the HoPF from January 13, 2010, to March 2011.
