Srinagar, August 24: In a grand and significant ceremony, IPS officer Sujit Kumar Singh Chauhan is elevated to the prestigious rank of Inspector General of Police (IGP). The event, attended by Director General of Police (DGP) J&K R.R. Swain, Special DG J&K Nalin Prabhat, and IGP Kashmir V.K. Birdi, marks Kumar’s new role as Incharge IGP Security J&K, highlighting a significant milestone in his distinguished career.
Growing up in Bihar, Kumar was shaped by values of hard work and perseverance. His academic pursuits took him to Hindu College, Delhi, and Patna University, where he not only excelled but also laid the foundation for a career dedicated to public service.
