New Delhi: BSF Director General V K Johri was on Tuesday repatriated to his parent cadre of Madhya Pradesh, an official order said. The 1984-batch IPS officer will be the first senior police officer who has moved out from a central paramilitary force to a state.
According to the order, the Appointments Committee of Cabinet approved the proposal of the home ministry for repatriation of Johri to his parent cadre with immediate effect. Officials close to him said that he was likely to take over as Director General of Madhya Pradesh Police.
In August 2019, Vivek Kumar Johri took charge as the Director General (DG) of the country's largest border guarding force, BSF. He took charge from his batch-mate Rajni Kant Mishra at the BSF headquarters in CGO Complex at Lodhi Road.
Johri also worked as a special secretary in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India’s external spy agency, under the cabinet secretariat. He is an engineering graduate from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal. (PTI REPORT)
