The officers who have made it to the list include special DGP (traffic) AS Rai, chief director of the vigilance bureau and intelligence chief Praveen Kumar Sinha, director of the Punjab Police Academy in Phillaur Anita Punj, and special DGP (security) S Srivastava. All four officers belong to the 1994 batch of the Indian Police Service.
