Maharashtra DGP Shukla removed on Congress complaint, additional charge given to Fanslakar

  Mumbai: The Election Commission has removed Maharashtra Police Director General Rashmi Shukla from her post on the complaint of the Congress. After the transfer of Rashmi Shukla, the state government on Monday handed over the additional charge of Director General of Police, Maharashtra to Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar.

Ahead of the November 20 assembly elections, the Election Commission on Monday directed the state government to transfer Maharashtra's first woman DGP Shukla with immediate effect following complaints from political parties including the opposition Congress.

Phansalkar has been given additional charge
The election body has directed the Maharashtra Chief Secretary to hand over Shukla's charge to the next senior IPS officer in the cadre. Accordingly, Phansalkar, a 1989-batch IPS officer, has been given the additional charge of DGP till the appointment of a new state police chief, the official said.

This is the second time that Phansalkar has been given the additional charge of the state's top police officer. The senior IPS officer was given the role of the state police chief on a temporary basis for 10 days - from December 31, 2023 to January 9, 2024 - after the retirement of the then DGP Rajnish Seth.

How did you get into the headlines?
Rashmi Shukla, who became IPS at the age of just 22, is Maharashtra's first Director General of Police. She was in the headlines in 2019 for tapping the phones of opposition leaders when she was the State Intelligence chief.

After that, after the Maha Vikas Agari government came to power in the state, an FIR was registered against him and an inquiry was ordered. Then on his request, the Central Government made him Director General of Shastra Seema Ball on deputation.

Change of power in Maharashtra
After the change of power in Maharashtra, he was called back to Maharashtra and made the DGP of Maharashtra. She also retired in June this year. But the state government has given them an increase in service. Ever since the announcement of the assembly elections in Maharashtra, all the opposition parties, including the Congress, were announcing the removal of Rashmi Shukla.
