Rashmi Shukla appointed as Maharashtra’s DGP- First Woman IPS officer
In a new development, senior IPS Officer, Rashmi Shukla has been appointed as Directorate General Of Police of Maharashtra. She is the first woman to emerge as DGP.
Reportedly, the state home department issued the order of her appointment.
The 59-year-old IPS officer of 1988 batch was posted as director general of the Sashastra Seema Bal on deputation.
Mumbai police commissioner Vivek Phansalkar was holding additional charge as DGP Maharashtra after Rajnish Seth retired from the post on December 31, 2023.
Earlier, Rashmi Shukla was embroiled in controversy amidst the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government’s tenure when her name figured as an accused in phone tapping cases.
The Bombay High Court in September 2023 quashed two first information reports (FIRs) registered against Shukla in this connection.
