Ex-Bihar DGP joins JD(U), tipped to get Assembly poll ticket

Former Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey joined JD(U) on Sunday in the presence of CM Nitish Kumar, making a swift transition to politics within five days of taking voluntary retirement from a police career marked by controversies such as his statement about actor Rhea Chakraborty not having the “aukat” (stature) to question his boss’ stand on the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
