The UPSC has decided to remove all Additional Directors General of Police (ADGPs) from the list  prepared by the state government for the head of the Police force. Although the Centre had directed that only officers with the rank of DGP be considered, the state government had also included officers of ADGP rank in its six-member list. The incumbent Shaik Darvesh Saheb is retiring from service on June 30. According to the information, DGP Manoj Abraham was not considered by the UPSC as the first three names made the cut on account of their seniority. ADGP Suresh Raj Purohit, and ADGP M R Ajith Kumar, were not considered by the UPSC.
