IPS Abhay Chudasama resigns, Gujarat govt yet to comment on decision

In a surprising turn of events,  Abhay Chudasama, a 1999 batch IPS officer from Gujarat, has resigned from his position as Principal of the state police academy, Karai, Gandhinagar, just eight months before his scheduled retirement. Chudasama, who was recently promoted to the rank of additional director general of police (ADGP), has decided to step down from his role earlier than expected.

Chudasama, who has had a long and distinguished career in the Indian Police Service, was appointed as principal of the state police academy in Karai in Gandhinagar, in April 2024. His resignation has come as a shock to many in the police deparment, as he was expected to continue serving until his retirement in October 2025.

The reasons behind Chudasama's early resignation have not been disclosed. The Gujarat government has yet to comment on Chudasama's resignation.
