The Rajasthan Police and Home Department have carried out a series of transfers and postings involving senior police officers, as part of an administrative reshuffle across the state. The changes affect officers serving at the Additional Superintendent of Police and Deputy Superintendent of Police levels, with several officers being assigned new responsibilities in Jaipur and other districts.
The reshuffle includes officers working in district policing, specialised units, traffic, crime investigation and other important wings of the Rajasthan Police. Such transfers are part of the department’s regular administrative process and are intended to align officers with different operational and organisational responsibilities.
One of the officers whose posting has drawn attention is Anand Singh Rajpurohit. According to the available transfer details, Rajpurohit, who was serving as ACP Boranada and was promoted to the Additional Superintendent of Police rank, has been posted as ASP with the Anti-Narcotics Task Force in Jaipur.
The posting places Rajpurohit in a specialised policing role in Jaipur. The Anti-Narcotics Task Force deals with matters related to narcotics offences and enforcement, making it an important component of efforts to prevent the trafficking and distribution of illegal drugs.
The transfer details also include a number of changes involving Jaipur Police Commissionerate. Several senior officers have been moved between positions such as ADCP and other specialised assignments, bringing changes to the administrative and operational structure of the Jaipur police setup.
The Rajasthan Police’s official records provide updated information on Rajasthan Police Service officers and their postings. The department’s RPS list is maintained to record officers, ranks and current assignments.
The wider reshuffle is not limited to Jaipur. Officers have been transferred to and from districts and specialised units across Rajasthan, including positions connected with crime investigation, traffic, the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary, CID, SOG, ATS and other police formations.
In another major exercise earlier this year, the Rajasthan Home Department ordered transfers and postings involving 84 ASP-level officers. The order included officers from different districts and units and also included several promoted officers receiving new assignments.
Among those appointments, several officers were assigned to Jaipur-based units. Alok Kumar Singhal was posted as ADCP East Jaipur, while Rajesh Kumar Gupta was also assigned as ADCP East Jaipur. Lakhan Singh Meena was posted as ADCP West Jaipur, while Ashok Kumar Chauhan was assigned as ADCP SOG (CCIU) Jaipur.
The same transfer exercise also saw officers move into specialised assignments. Madan Singh Chauhan was posted as ASP SOG Jaipur, Manoj Kumar Gupta was posted as ASP ATS Jaipur, and Sunil Prasad Sharma was assigned as ASP CID SSB Headquarters Jaipur.
The changes at the DSP level have also been significant. In June, the Rajasthan Police Headquarters issued a transfer order covering 141 Deputy Superintendents of Police. The move involved officers from different districts and police units, with new assignments including Circle Officer positions and specialised postings.
The DSP-level reshuffle included changes in Jaipur and other parts of the state. For example, Harji Lal Yadav was transferred to the post of ACP Bassi in the Jaipur Police Commissionerate, while Anil Jasoriya was posted as Circle Officer Nagaur after serving with the Anti-Gangster Task Force in Jaipur.
The transfer of officers between field postings and specialised units is a regular feature of police administration. Depending on their designation and posting, Rajasthan Police Service officers can serve as Circle Officers, Assistant Commissioners of Police, Deputy Superintendents of Police or Additional Superintendents of Police.
In Jaipur’s commissionerate system, officers holding equivalent responsibilities can have designations such as ACP or ADCP depending on their rank and assignment. This means that a transfer can involve a change not only in geographical location but also in the nature of an officer’s responsibilities.
For officers moved into specialised units such as the Anti-Narcotics Task Force, the new assignment can involve focused enforcement responsibilities rather than conventional district-level policing. Such units generally require coordination with other police formations and agencies while dealing with specific categories of crime.
The latest postings are therefore significant from an administrative perspective because they redistribute experienced officers across different operational areas. The impact of these changes will depend on how the officers assume their new responsibilities and how the concerned units implement their policing priorities.
The Rajasthan Police has several specialised branches that deal with different categories of law enforcement. These include crime investigation, traffic management, CID, SOG, ATS, anti-corruption operations and narcotics-related enforcement. Officers are periodically moved between such units and field assignments based on administrative requirements.
The official Rajasthan Police records also show that officer postings can change over time, reflecting promotions, transfers and administrative decisions. The department’s current RPS list provides a reference point for officer postings as of August 19, 2026.
For Jaipur, the movement of senior officers is particularly important because the city has a large and complex policing structure. The Jaipur Police Commissionerate is responsible for maintaining law and order across the state capital while also handling traffic, crime investigation, specialised operations and other responsibilities.
The new posting of Anand Singh Rajpurohit to the Anti-Narcotics Task Force Jaipur is therefore one of the notable appointments in the reshuffle. His move from ACP Boranada to the ASP-level assignment changes his operational focus from his earlier field responsibility in the Jodhpur region to a specialised anti-narcotics role in the state capital.
The broader transfer exercise also reflects the Rajasthan Police administration’s continuing effort to place officers in different operational and specialised roles. As officers take charge of their new postings, the department is expected to focus on maintaining continuity in policing while ensuring that vacant or newly assigned positions are filled.
For the public, the most important aspect of such transfers is how the changes translate into policing on the ground. In Jaipur and other districts, residents are likely to judge the effectiveness of the reshuffle through law-and-order management, crime prevention, investigation and enforcement activities.
The transfer orders themselves do not indicate any wrongdoing or disciplinary action against the officers involved. Transfers and postings are administrative decisions and should not automatically be interpreted as punitive measures unless an official order specifically states otherwise.
With several officers moving into new assignments, the coming period will be important for the concerned police units. The new officers will have to familiarise themselves with their jurisdictions, ongoing cases and operational priorities before implementing their respective plans.
The Rajasthan Police administration is expected to continue making posting adjustments whenever required to meet operational needs. For now, the latest reshuffle marks another significant change in the state’s police structure, with Anand Singh Rajpurohit’s appointment to the Anti-Narcotics Task Force in Jaipur among the notable postings.
