The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the cadre controlling authority for Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, on Wednesday approved the premature repatriation of former Chandigarh Director General of Police (DGP) Surendra Singh Yadav from the Border Security Force (BSF) to his parent cadre.

The order came seven months after Yadav was moved from Chandigarh to the BSF as Deputy Inspector General (DIG).

In the order, the MHA, under the header, "Premature repatriation of SS Yadav, DIG (BSF), to his parent cadre", said, “It has been directed to convey the approval of the competent authority for the premature repatriation of Yadav to his parent cadre with immediate effect. Date of relieving of the officer may be intimated to this ministry.”

It is to be noted that Yadav, a 1997-batch IPS officer of the AGMUT cadre, was brought on Central deputation and posted in the BSF as DIG on April 1, 2025. He had served just over a year as the DGP in Chandigarh.

Yadav, who took charge as the Chandigarh DGP on March 16, 2024, had one of the shortest stints in the Union Territory’s history, second only to former IG Kiran Bedi, who was transferred after just 44 days in office. Despite the limited time, Yadav left a significant impact on the Union Territory police force’s functioning.

One of the highlights of his tenure in Chandigarh was the crackdown on corruption and misconduct. From January 2023 to June 2024, Yadav suspended 37 officers and dismissed 12 others on charges ranging from graft to dereliction of duty.

He also oversaw a massive staff reshuffle. On July 23, 2024, Yadav ordered the transfer of 2,763 police personnel.

Yadav has had a distinguished career marked by his commitment to transparency and accountability within the police force. Before his tenure in Chandigarh, Yadav also served as the chief of Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Branch, during which he played a pivotal role in combating corruption within the Capital’s administration.
