Goa’s Director General of Police (DGP) Pranab Nanda succumbed to a cardiac arrest at his Delhi residence on Saturday.
Nanda had flown to Delhi on Friday.
A 1988 batch Indian Police Service officer, Nanda belonged to the Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and other Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre. He took charge as Goa Police chief in March this year.
Nanda was on an official visit to Delhi when he suffered from cardiac arrest and died at his residence there.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant expressed shock at the sudden passing away of the police chief.
“Shocked and saddened by the untimely demise of Pranab Nanda (IPS), DGP, Goa. My deepest sympathies to his family members. May God comfort them in this hour of grief,” Sawant said in a statement.
The launch of the SOS Women and Child application on Thursday where Nanda, moved by the cultural programme presented by children of a shelter home, had delivered an emotional speech as chief guest was his last official engagement in Goa.
