The 1995-batch IPS officer, who is facing a vigilance probe over alleged illegal amassing of wealth, will be promoted as DGP by July next year when a vacancy arises after the retirement of state police chief Shaik Darvesh Saheb.

Also, S Suresh, who is on central deputation with the Special Protection Group, will be promoted to the DGP rank.

Ajith's promotion will take place after that.

Reacting to the development, state Congress chief K Sudhakaran alleged that the controversial officer was being promoted as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had succumbed to the RSS.
