1995-BATCH IPS OFFICER G NAGESWARA RAO HAS BEEN APPOINTED AS VIGILANCE BUREAU HEAD

- Vishal Rambani

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab government on Monday removed special DGP Varinder Kumar from the post of vigilance bureau (VB) chief, appointing 1995-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer G Nageswara Rao in his place.

People in the know of the matter said Kumar's removal comes in the wake of several high-profile cases, including those against former minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu and the PSIEC scam, falling flat in the high court. AAP leaders, meanwhile, maintained that it was a routine transfer.

As per the department of home affairs' notification, Kumar will now be reporting to Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav for further duties.
