JAMMU, Jan 12: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has transferred Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Law and Order of J&K Police, Vijay Kumar, an IPS officer of the 1997 batch, to the Delhi segment of the AGMUT cadre, amid speculations that he may join Delhi Police as Special Commissioner.
“With the approval of the competent authority, Vijay Kumar, IPS (AGMUT: 1997) is hereby transferred from Jammu and Kashmir to Delhi segment of AGMUT cadre with immediate effect or until further orders,” an order issued by MHA said.
Kumar had played a major role in combatting terrorism during his tenure as IG and ADGP of Kashmir, official sources said.
He also has vast experience in handling anti-terrorism operations in sensitive districts like Pulwama, Awantipora, Kulgam and Anantnag. His service record includes a unique combination of expertise in anti-terrorist, anti-Maoist and law-and-order operations, both within and outside Jammu and Kashmir.
A native of Saharsa district in Bihar, Kumar holds a Master’s degree from JNU, New Delhi.
He is also the only IPS officer from the erstwhile J&K cadre to have served in the Special Operations Group (SOG), the anti-terror wing of J&K Police, in south Kashmir.
In 2023, Kumar was awarded the President’s Police Medal for distinguished services on the occasion of Republic Day.
He is also known for handling anti-terror operations in Kashmir, anti-Maoist operations in Bastar area of Chhattisgarh and the Jat agitation.
Kumar has received three gallantry medals from the central government for his role in anti-terror operations. Also, he received a gallantry award from the J&K Government.
The Election Commission of India awarded Kumar the National Award for his role as Chief Force Coordinator of CAPFs in providing a safe environment for conducting Assembly elections of nine states in 2018.
