Why Kuldeep Sharma is unlikely to be Ahmedabad Police Commissioner


Mr Kuldeep Sharma is known as an efficient police officer. The anti terrorist squad(ATS) is his baby. Also his stints as police commissioner Baroda, Rajkot and Surat were pretty commendable. Mr Sharma was in Somalia on a United Nations mission. He has cut short his mission and is back. His timing coincides with the grapevine of a possible change in top police brass of Ahmedabad.
Hooch tragedy and prohibition are not linked. But still, because it has been unraveled that several police officers were patronizing local bootleggers which apparently led to the Hooch tragedy; talks of top heads rolling have been there.
So,why not Kuldeep Sharma as the new Ahmedabad police commissioner.

It seems even those who can influence the Government and Mr Modi in taking decisions label Kuldeep Sharma as competent, efficient and organized. However the Government or rather those who matter in the government want to keep him away from this important assignment. Why? The answer they offer is :
“Sharma is a good officer. But he is vindictive”.
Also actions of officers like Abhay Chudasama would be much under scrutiny if Kuldeep Sharma takes over. Abhay and Amit Shah(minister of state for home seem to be more than buddies)
So, instead of this jamela, Kuldeep Sharma would prefer to get a posting as DG with Border Security Force. The present DG Mr M L Kumawat retires soon.
