- In a significant administrative development concerning internal security, the Union Home Ministry (MHA) has given senior IPS officer Rakesh Agarwal the additional charge of Director General of the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
- This move aims to ensure institutional stability and continuity in the leadership of India's premier counter-terrorism agency.
- He will hold the post until a regular incumbent is appointed or until further orders, whichever comes first.
- This decision comes after the premature repatriation of Sadanand Vasant Date, a 1990-batch IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre.
- Rakesh Agarwal is a 1994-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Himachal Pradesh cadre.
- He is currently serving as the Special Director General of the NIA.
