The state government is likely to name the new Director General of Police on Monday.
According to sources, the state government has already shortlisted a few senior officials who could be elevated to the post. The decision is more likely to come after the farewell parade of outgoing DGP V Dinesh Reddy, on Monday morning.
Earlier today, the Andhra Pradesh High Court rejected the petition moved by Dinesh Reddy, challenging the decision of the Hyderabad bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which rejected his plea for extension of his office tenure till September next year. (INN)
