Kapoor's name was shortlisted by the Union Public Service Commission empanelment committee along with two IPS officers -- Muhammad Akil (1988 batch), and Ramesh Chandra Mishra (1989 batch).
Kapoor, who was Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, is believed to be a confidante of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for reining in corruption.
He was appointed the state's first CID chief in 2014 when the current government came to helm in 2014.
Kapoor also had a stint with the CBI.
