Senior IPS officer Ajay Singhal was appointed as the new Director General of Police of Haryana on Wednesday, according to an official order.
A 1992-batch IPS officer, Singhal has replaced O P Singh, who retired from service on Wednesday.
The order said that after considering a panel sent by the Union Public Service Commission, the Governor of Haryana has appointed Ajay Singhal, IPS (HY-1992), as the state’s DGP. He will hold the post for a minimum tenure of two years from the date he takes charge.
Before his appointment, Singhal was serving as the Director General of the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau.
O P Singh retired on Wednesday after a service career of over three decades. He was given additional charge as DGP on October 14 after Shatrujeet Kapur went on leave amid opposition attacks over the alleged suicide of fellow IPS officer Y Puran Kumar. Singh was later appointed officiating DGP on December 14.
