After months of delays caused by litigation and repeated postponements, Tamil Nadu has finally got a regular Director General of Police and Head of Police Force (DGP/HoPF).
On Wednesday (June 3, 2026), Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal, a 1994-batch IPS officer, assumed charge as the DGP/HoPF of the Tamil Nadu police, nearly 10 months after the vacancy arose.
Aggarwal was given a guard of honour at the DGP office in Chennai.
