In a significant administrative development, senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Sujit Pandey has been promoted to the prestigious rank of Director General of Police (DGP) in Uttar Pradesh. The state government issued the promotion order, elevating Pandey to one of the top positions in the police hierarchy.

A Distinguished Career in Policing

Sujit Pandey, known for his disciplined working style and strong leadership skills, has handled several key responsibilities throughout his career. A highly regarded officer, Pandey has built a reputation for effective policing, strategic intelligence handling, and strong field command.

He earlier served as the first Police Commissioner of Lucknow, a position that marked a major step in Uttar Pradesh’s transition from the traditional policing model to the modern commissionerate system. During his tenure, he implemented several reforms focused on crime control, women’s safety, and rapid urban policing.

Currently Serving as ADG Lucknow Zone

Prior to his promotion, Sujit Pandey was serving as the Additional Director General (ADG) of Lucknow Zone, overseeing law and order, crime prevention, and operational policing across multiple districts of central Uttar Pradesh.

His administrative experience and field performance were widely seen as key factors behind his elevation to the DGP rank.

His appointment is expected to contribute to ongoing law-enforcement modernization efforts, improved crime management, and better coordination within the state’s security framework.
