NIA Condoles Sad and Untimely Demise of Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singh IPS (1987 MP). Shri S. K. Singh served NIA for 7 years and stood for an indomitable spirit of Professionalism, Honesty, and Commitment. May His Soul Rest in Peace,” the central probe agency said on its official Twitter handle.
The officer had retired from service in February. He last served with the Border Security Force as an ADG (eastern command) based in Kolkata, looking after the deployment of the force along the India-Bangladesh international border.
The officer had led the NIA probe in the 2016 terrorist attack on the Indian Air Force base in Punjab’s Pathankot and had escorted a joint investigation team of Pakistani officials, in March that year, who visited the airbase as part of their own probe in the case.
The officer was a health enthusiast and his last Twitter post on June 14, 2018, has a video where he can be seen doing pull-ups and push-ups as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s fitness challenge to IPS officers.
He has also served as ADG (Naxal operations) in Madhya Pradesh after his deputation with the NIA ended. The IPS Association, the Madhya Pradesh DGP and the BSF also condoled his death on their official Twitter handles.
