Ahmedabad, Feb 4 (PTI): Senior IPS officer Abhay Chudasama, who was scheduled to retire in eight months, has tendered his resignation. However, the Gujarat government has yet to accept his request.
Chudasama, 59, was promoted to the rank of Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) last year and currently serves as the Principal of Gujarat Police Academy in Karai, Gandhinagar.
A 1999-batch officer, Chudasama initially joined the Gujarat Police as a State Police Service officer before being promoted to the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 2004.
His career has been marred by controversy, as he was arrested by the CBI in 2010 in connection with the Sohrabuddin Shaikh encounter case. However, the Gujarat High Court granted him bail in 2014, and he was reinstated later that year. In 2015, a special CBI court discharged him and several others in connection with the Shaikh and Tulsiram Prajapati encounter cases.
Before his posting at the Karai Academy in 2023, Chudasama served as the Inspector General of Gandhinagar Range.
The Gujarat Home Department has not responded to media queries regarding his voluntary retirement.
