The position became vacant following the resignation of former Commissioner Ali Shujau last month. His departure followed widespread public criticism of the police’s handling of an incident involving a 21-year-old woman who fell from a building on 18 April.
In the immediate aftermath of the resignation, Assistant Commissioner of Police Farhad Fikry was named Acting Commissioner. However, the decision was revised within an hour, and Deputy Commissioner Ismail Naveen was subsequently appointed to the role.
