In a minor reshuffle of senior police officials, the Tamil Nadu Home Department transferred four Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, reallocating crucial positions within the state’s policing and administrative structure.

As per the new postings, DGP Pramod Kumar, currently serving as the Chief Vigilance Officer of Tangedco, has been appointed as the Director General of Police (DGP), Civil Defence, and Commandant General, Home Guards, in Chennai. He replaces IG V. Jeyashri in the post.

IG V. Jeyashri has now been transferred as the Inspector General (IG) of the State Crime Record Bureau (SCRB). Meanwhile, ADGP Ayush Mani Tiwari, who was the Additional Director General of SCRB, will now serve as Chief Vigilance Officer at TANGEDCO, a position vacated by Pramod Kumar.

In another transfer, the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Tiruchy Range has been shifted to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) in Chennai, filling a long-vacant DIG post in the department.

Administrative Realignment for Better Functioning
According to sources in the Home Department, the transfers are part of routine administrative measures aimed at strengthening law enforcement institutions and improving coordination between vigilance, crime records management, and criminal investigations.

The reshuffle brings experienced officers into strategically significant roles—especially at a time when vigilance in public sector undertakings and data-driven policing require sharper oversight.

TANGEDCO, the state-run power utility, has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, making the role of the Chief Vigilance Officer highly crucial. The transfer of Pramod Kumar and appointment of Ayush Mani Tiwari underscores the state’s continued emphasis on transparency and accountability within the organization.

Similarly, the SCRB, which plays a key role in crime data analysis and digital policing, is expected to boost its capabilities under IG Jeyashri’s leadership. The appointment of a DIG to the CB-CID from Tiruchy Range also strengthens the state’s capacity to investigate sensitive and high-profile cases.
