Anand, a 1991-batch IPS officer, served as Special Chief Secretary to the Government, Home Department, before being appointed as the DGP.
He succeeded B Shivadhar Reddy, who superannuated on April 30. He has been appointed as state security advisor following his superannuation.
Anand began his police career as Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in the Warangal Rural sub-division.
The first nine years of his service were spent in naxal-affected districts, where he led operations and was involved in several encounters, according to official sources.
Anand was awarded the President's Gallantry Medal for his high-risk operations and role in countering naxalism. He also served as Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City.
