Subodh Kumar Jaiswal, the , brings along a unique mix of experience in the field of spycraft, investigation and administrative supervision. A “balanced” person: this is how many in the police services describe him. A 1985-batch Indian Police Service officer of the Maharashtra cadre, Mr. Jaiswal has served the Research & Analysis Wing for eight years. He was also on deputation with the elite Special Protection Group. “However, he has never served the CBI before. In many ways, this will benefit the agency in terms of fresh ideas. The previous chief, Rishi Kumar Shukla, also did not have any prior stint with the CBI,” said an official. In July 2018, Mr. Jaiswal was appointed as the Mumbai Police Commissioner and then he became the Maharashtra Director-General of Police in March 2019. During his tenure as the DGP, the Elgar Parishad and Bhima Koregaon cases were probed. The two cases were later transferred to the National Investigation Agency.More Related News
