Shalini, a Distinguished IPS Officer, Selected to Serve as Deputy Inspector General in the CBI
In a significant administrative development, the central government has appointed IPS officer Shalini to the prestigious position of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This elevation places her within the upper ranks of India’s premier investigative agency, which handles some of the nation’s most sensitive and high-profile criminal cases.
Shalini, known for her sharp investigative abilities and consistent record of service in the Indian Police Service, now moves into a role that demands advanced leadership, deep analytical skill, and operational command. As DIG, she will oversee complex investigations, coordinate multi-state operations, supervise specialized teams, and contribute to the formulation of high-level strategies designed to strengthen the CBI’s investigative processes.
Her appointment reflects the government’s continued emphasis on bringing experienced, capable, and reform-oriented officers into the country’s top enforcement institutions. It also underscores the CBI’s ongoing efforts to enhance institutional efficiency, accountability, and professionalism in the wake of an expanding caseload and the growing sophistication of economic and cyber-related crimes.
With her new assignment, Shalini is expected to bring fresh momentum and disciplined leadership to the agency’s operations, while also reinforcing public trust in India’s central investigative framework.
