Bangalore, Sep 21: Former Mangalore IGP Gopal Hosur, known as one of the most upright officers in the police department and in the state, who is currently holding the post of IGP (fire and emergency service) in Bangalore has reportedly applied for voluntary retirement from service.

He still has seven months of service left.

He took over as IGP of Mangalore in 2009 after infamous incidents like church attacks, pub attack etc. During his tenure he was able to maintain law and order situation in Mangalore.

Sources said that he applied for VRS due to personal reasons.

Gopal B Hosur joined Karnataka state police force in 1980 as the deputy superintendent of police. He was later promoted to the IPS cadre. He was appointed IGP (western range) on February 18, 2009, and then as ACP, Bangalore in August 2010. In 1993, he even suffered bullet injuries during an encounter with the notorious Veerappan and was hospitalized for nearly six months.

    I have had the pleasure - I repeat pleasure of knowing this upright, sincere forthright and dedicated police officer during his tenure in Mangalore as the I.G.P. - Western range. During my meetings I had the privilege of introducing him to some of my close friends and all without exception they paid excellent tributes to this worthy Police Officer.

    I do not know the reason for his asking for voluntary retirement and if he is allowed to leave the police force prematurely, Indeed it is a loss to the department. People like Gopal Hasur have brought a great name to the department of law and order.

    Gopal - I salute you for your excellent service to the people of Mangalore and wish you a peaceful and happy retirement . May The Good Lord bless you abundantly. You may retire but your name has already gone down in history.

    Joe Gonsalves.

    All Mangaloreans should say "Thank You" to him for the peace and tranquility he brought back to Mangalore.

    Hope another one matching his zeal and zest towards duty will replace him and continue the good work.

    Happy retired life - as and when you retire.
