Anand, who has vast experience in policing and numerous success stories adorning in his CV, was appointed Director-General of Police (Head of Police Force) here on Tuesday. He will assume charge after incumbent DGP (full additional charge) B. Shivadhar Reddy demits office on April 30 on attaining superannuation.
The state government finalised the appointment of Anand, a 1991 batch IPS
officer, strictly in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the Supreme Court in the ‘Prakash Singh’ case.
“Anand was the natural choice given his seniority and efficiency,” sources close to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said. A city lad in the true sense, born in Jajki Khana (Maternity) Government Hospital in Petlaburj, Anand did his schooling in Hyderabad Public School and graduated from Nizam College and did his MA in economics from Osmania University.
