Ex-Guj DGP goes on sick leave after being appointed in Centre

Former Gujarat DGP PC Thakur, who has been appointed as the Director General of Fire Services, Civil Defence and Home Guards in New Delhi on central deputation, has gone on sick leave, an official said. 

The official from state DGP office revealed that Thakur has gone on leave as he might be miffed over his new appointment as he wanted to remain in Gujarat due to his wife’s ill health.

Thakur, who was appointed as the DGP of Gujarat in 2013, went on leave within hours after the Department of Personnel and Training announced his appointment on central deputation in New Delhi on Friday.
