Arun Kumar Sinha, who held the esteemed position of Director of the Special Protection Group (SPG), tragically passed away on a Wednesday at a privately operated medical facility located in Gurugram, Haryana.
His role as the SPG chief was one of great responsibility, which he assumed in the year 2016. During his tenure, he shouldered the vital duty of safeguarding the security of not only the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, but also the former prime ministers of India.
At the time of his demise, Mr. Sinha was 61 years old and had been grappling with health issues related to his liver for several months, seeking medical attention and treatment throughout this period.
It's worth noting that Arun Kumar Sinha was an officer of the 1987 batch of the Indian Police Service (IPS), serving the Kerala cadre. Notably, he had recently received an extension in his service, demonstrating his dedication and commitment to his responsibilities in the realm of security and protection.
