  • The Election Commission of India appointed a new police chief in Tamil Nadu, leading to a debate on his tenure.
  • Sandeep Rai Rathore was appointed as Director General of Police (DGP) and Head of Police Force (HoPF).
  • The order did not mention how long he will serve in this post.
  • The Supreme Court of India earlier said DGP should have a minimum 2-year tenure in the Prakash Singh case.
  • But this rule applies only to appointments made through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
  • After elections, the new government can decide whether to continue or change him.
