Anurag Kumar, a 1994-batch IPS officer, is appointed as the next Commissioner of Delhi Police, replacing Satish Golchha (also spelled Golcha/Golchha in some reports). Satish Golchha took charge as police commissioner in August last year and is directed to report to the Lieutenant Governor for his next assignment. Multiple outlets report that the transition takes effect when Kumar assumes the top post. Kumar is currently serving as Special Director in India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB), an intelligence agency under the central government. He previously worked in the intelligence apparatus and is described across sources as an “intel veteran” or intelligence-related senior official. Reports also mention that Kumar will prioritize anti-corruption measures, including “zero tolerance” for corruption within the police force, though details of implementation are not specified. Sources further note that this appointment follows a period of frequent leadership changes, with Kumar becoming the fourth Delhi Police commissioner in about the last year. While the articles differ slightly in wording and emphasis, they consistently identify both the appointee, the outgoing commissioner, and the role Kumar currently holds in the IB.
