Rajiv Rai Bhatnagar named CRPF chief days after Sukma attack
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on Wednesday appointed Rajiv Rai Bhatnagar as its new chief days after 25 CRPF personnel were killed in a Naxalite attack in Chhattisgarh's Sukma. Notably, the CRPF had been functioning without a full-time chief for nearly two months. The 1983 batch IPS officer had earlier served as the Narcotics Control Bureau chief.
