Anupam Singh Gehlot Tipped to Become Ahmedabad's Next Police Commissioner
1997-batch Gujarat IPS officer Anupam Singh Gehlot is likely to be appointed as the next Police Commissioner of Ahmedabad.
Anupam Singh Gehlot, a 1997-batch IPS officer of the Gujarat cadre, is being widely considered for appointment as the next Police Commissioner of Ahmedabad, according to sources tracking senior police postings in the state. Ahmedabad, Gujarat's largest city and a major commercial hub, is among India's most prominent police commissionerates. The city's Police Commissioner oversees a large force responsible for law and order, traffic management, crime control, and security across a sprawling urban area with a population of over eight million. Gehlot's seniority as a 1997-batch officer makes him one of the senior-most IPS officers in the Gujarat cadre, and his reported consideration for the top Ahmedabad post follows a period of transitions in the state's senior police leadership. The Ahmedabad commissionerate has historically been among the most sought-after postings in Gujarat's police hierarchy, given its profile, resource allocation, and strategic importance. An official confirmation of his appointment is awaited. If appointed, Gehlot would be taking charge of the commissionerate at a time of increasing urban security and traffic management challenges in one of India's fastest-growing metropolitan cities.
