Jaipur, Rajasthan – Recent property disclosure data submitted by Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Rajasthan cadre shows that many senior police officials in the state have declared significant immovable assets worth crores of rupees, drawing attention to transparency and accountability in public service. The information reflects property details as of January 1, 2026, and was made public in accordance with mandatory annual disclosure rules under the Home Ministry.

📊 Top Wealth Holders Among Rajasthan IPS Officers

The asset list submitted by around 201 IPS officers shows a wide range of holdings including houses, flats, plots and agricultural land across Rajasthan and other states. Senior officers have declared properties in prime locations, with values running into multiple crores.

Highlights from the disclosure include:

  • Sanjay Kumar Agarwal (Director General, Law & Order) tops the list with a combined property value of approximately ₹11.50 crore; his assets include agricultural land, residential plots and flats in Jaipur.
  • Malini Agarwal (DG, Home Defence) has jointly held property with her spouse, including residential and agricultural land in Jaipur and plots in Jodhpur, amounting to significant value.
  • Rajesh Arya, currently serving as NIA/NTRO head on deputation, owns a house and two land plots in Jaipur and a home in Dehradun, with a declared value of over ₹2 crore.
  • Sachin Mittal (Jaipur Commissioner) has declared three flats in Jaipur and Noida worth around ₹1.74 crore.
  • Several other senior officers, including Ashok Kumar Rathore, Govind Gupta and Sharat Kaviraj, disclosed multiple plots and residential properties across Rajasthan.

Some officers reported no immovable property, indicating wide variation in personal asset ownership across the cadre.

🏡 Why These Declarations Matter

Under Indian service rules, IPS officers are required to submit an Immovable Property Return (IPR) to the government each year, covering properties held by themselves and close family members. These disclosures are part of efforts to enhance administrative transparency and public accountability by revealing personal investments and real estate holdings of senior officials.

Public access to these disclosures allows citizens to scrutinize wealth accumulation trends among high‑ranking police officers and helps deter unexplained asset growth during a government career.

📊 Investment Trends Among IPS Officers

The data also shows that many IPS officers prefer to invest in agricultural land, residential plots, and commercial property, particularly in cities such as Jaipur — often seen as a safe long‑term investment. Others have property in multiple states, including Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi areas, reflecting a diversified investment strategy.
