The Election Commission of India (ECI) has appointed IPS (1989) Sanjay Mukherjee as the new Director General of Police (DGP) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) of West Bengal, following the removal of the previous DGP, Rajeev Kumar. Initially, Vivek Sahay was named as the next DGP by the ECI, but the decision was later revised to appoint Sanjay Mukherjee. This series of appointments and directives comes amid the ECI's instructions to the West Bengal government to ensure that the state's police leadership does not interfere with the electoral process.
