Bangalore: When Neelam Achyutha Rao retired, he perhaps was not sure who would succeed him, out of 5 in the race. It was Shankar Bidri who piped Abdul Rehaman Infant to the winning post, to be IGP and Bidri has taken over from Rao as new IGP in a BJP administration.

Infant is crying and would have taken legal help on his seniority.

The Government issued the order favoring Bidri on Wednesday (Nov 30). However, Bidri retires on 31-05-2012 in 6 months. Infant will grow up then.
