In Delhi Police, Additional charge of Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) was given to Nupur Prasad (IPS: 2007: AGMUT) after the incumbent Joint CP (Crime) Surender Kumar (IPS: 2007: UT) proceeded on a month-long training. And Nupur Prasad happens to be the wife of Surender Kumar. However, there are numerous such instances where the wives replaced the husbands at the administrative job of the state and sometimes worked holding the top job in juxtaposition. For example, in Punjab Vini Mahajan (Retd IAS: 1987: PB) was Chief Secretary while her husband Dinkar Gupta (Retd IPS: 1986: PB) served as State DGP. In a current context Sarada Muraleedharan (IAS: 1990: KL) took over as Chief Secretary of Kerala from her batchmate and husband Dr V Venu (Retd IAS: 1990: KL). In the case of Karnataka, Shalini Rajneesh (IAS: 1989: KN) is the incumbent Chief Secretary who replaced her husband Dr Rajneesh Goel (Retd IAS: 1986: KN) in July 2024. Similarly, Ms Sujata Shaunik, present Chief Secretary, Maharashtra is the wife of former Ch Secy Maharashtra, Manoj Shaunik. Manoj Shaunik is the Chairman RERA in Maharashtra presently.
