NEW DELHI, June 30: Senior IPS officer Mahesh Dixit on Tuesday took charge as the new Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), succeeding Tapan Kumar Deka who retired after a four-year tenure.
Dixit, a 1993-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the Andhra Pradesh cadre (now serving Telangana), will head the premier internal intelligence agency for a two-year tenure.
His appointment was cleared last week by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
