Overview

  • Siddharth Kaushal tendered his resignation from the Indian Police Service after more than 13 years serving in Andhra Pradesh.
  • He denied suggestions that harassment or external compulsion influenced his decision, calling such reports baseless and misleading.
  • Kaushal said he chose to step down for personal reflection and family-aligned long-term goals.
  • His career highlights include roles as Superintendent of Police in Krishna, Prakasam and Kurnool districts and most recently as Inspector General of Law and Order.
  • He plans to transition to a corporate position in Delhi, a move that mirrors growing unrest over posting delays and suspensions among IPS officers after the June 2024 state government change.
