1994-Batch IPS Officer Anurag Kumar Appointed Delhi Police Commissioner

NEW DELHI: Senior IPS officer Anurag Kumar on Friday assumed charge as the new Commissioner of Delhi Police, succeeding Satish Golcha as the top police officer in the national capital. Kumar formally took over the charge on Friday, marking a change in the leadership of the Delhi Police.

A 1994-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, Kumar was serving as Special Director in the Intelligence Bureau before the Centre appointed him as the Delhi Police Commissioner. Kumar’s appointment comes as he brings extensive experience in intelligence and policing, having served in several key positions throughout his career.

His predecessor, Satish Golcha, a 1992-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, has been directed by the Centre to report to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi for his next posting, according to the official order.
