JAMMU, June 19: With 20 IPS officers from Jammu and Kashmir already on deputation with Centre and Ladakh, five more officers including two in the rank of Additional DGPs have sought the deputation while three IPS officers from AGMUT cadre and two from DAINIPS are being posted to the Union Territory shortly.
Official sources told the Excelsior that out of five officers, who have sought Central deputation, the case of Atul Kumar Goel, who was recently promoted as IGP but was officiating as DIG CID and State Investigation Agency (SIA), has been cleared. He has been posted in the Cabinet Secretariat.
With this, the post of DIG SIA, a premier terror-investigation agency of Jammu and Kashmir which was set up in November last year, has fallen vacant. The Union Territory Government as well as Police Headquarters are looking an officer in the rank of DIG for replacement of Goel.
