IF the state sticks to seniority, the state police will get its second woman chief by September 1 this year.
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 TN police.
