Gandhinagar, Apr 4 (IBNS): Senior IPS officer Geeta Johari was appointed as the new Director General of Police of Gujarat on Tuesday, according to media reports.

Johri, succeeds PP Pandey, an accused in the much debated Ishrat Jahan encounter case. Pandey is out on bail.

Currently, she is the managing director of the Gujarat Police Housing Board, media reports said.

Media reports quoted Pradeepsinh Jadeja, the state minister for home as saying that Johari has been given the additional charge as she is the senior-most IPS officer in the state.

In 2015, a special court discharged Johari from the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case where the CBI had filed a charge sheet against her claiming that she had botched up the investigation into the case, according to media reports.
