Telangana government appoints new DGP

The Telangana government appointed IPS officer Dr Jitender as the Director General of Police (DGP), Telangana, on Wednesday, July 10.

Dr Jitender is the first DGP appointed by the Congress government after coming to power in the state



in December 2023.

IPS Ravi Gupta was appointed interim DGP in December last year, after the election commission suspended former Telangana DGP Anjani Kumar for violating the Model Code of Conduct which was then in place.
