Senior IPS officer RR Swain took over as the Director
General of Police of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
Swain, a 1991-batch IPS officer, assumed the post upon
the retirement of Dilbag Singh, who was the longest-serving DGP of Jammu and
Kashmir.
He remained posted at various important and key
positions in Jammu and Kashmir Police.
At a function held at the Police headquarters here, Swain
was received by senior officers. He also inspected a guard of honour.
Top officers including special DG Crime A K Choudhary,
ADGsP SJM Gillani, MK Sinha and Vijay Kumar were among those present, said a
police official.
In November 2006, Swain was sent on central deputation
where he held prestigious posts. In June 2020, he joined Jammu & Kashmir
Police as head of the CID wing.
Immediately after taking over as DGP, Swain chaired a
meeting which was attended by senior officers of the PHQ and other wings. The
heads of departments of different wings and senior officers briefed the DGP
about the working of their wings and offices.
