After the Election Commission dismissed state Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar, Bengal’s police chief is now Vivek Sahay, an police chief officer from the 1988 batch. The state’s head of the Home Guards was Mr. Sahay.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar met with his two recently appointed associates, Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, prior to their removal.
