Earlier, it had been reported that former All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) member, Tapan Deka, as its next DGP.

Tapan Deka was also a ‘top spy’ of India in Washington DC, the capital city of United States of America. A Himachal cadre officer now posted in Assam as JD(IB), he handled ULFA cases between 1993-2001.

Deka maintains a ‘low profile’ and it is hard to even find pictures of him on search engine site Google. Only a side photo of Tapan Deka receiving presidential medals exists at the moment.

If sources are to be believed, the ‘super cop’ will take over as the DGP of Assam after the retirement of the current DGP Kuladhar Saikia.
