LUCKNOW: Krishna proved his mettle after ensuring the smooth conduct of the biggest police recruitment written examination in August last year and helping the government bounce back from two back-to-back question paper leaks in February 2024.

"First, the way Krishna handled the biggest police recruitment written examination and got it conducted successfully recently. The state government faced a major embarrassment after back-to-back question paper leaks in February 2024. The entire police recruitment written examination was cancelled and reconducted in August last year. Second, Krishna suits the new rule laid down by the state government for the appointment of a permanent DGP in November 2024," he emphasised.
