Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey takes VRS, may contest from Buxar

Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey, who recently made headlines with his aukat taunt at Rhea Chakraborty in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, has taken voluntary retirement. Pandey has reportedly decided to join politics after a go-ahead from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Pandey’s request for voluntary retirement was forwarded on Tuesday evening and was approved by the Bihar government, which has waived a three-month mandatory cooling off period. SK Singhal will take over as the new DGP. Speaking to the media, Pandey said his retirement has nothing to do with the Sushant Rajput case.
