Satish Golcha Appointed As New Chief Of Delhi Police
The Union Home Ministry on Thursday appointed senior IPS officer Satish Golcha as the new Commissioner of Delhi Police. Golcha is a 1992-batch senior officer of AGMUT cadre.
Incidentally, the decision came to appoint Golcha as the new chief of Delhi Police a day after Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was allegedly attacked during a public hearing (Jan Sunwai) at her official residence.
Golcha will take over the charge from SBK Singh, who has been officiating at the post. Singh, a full-time Director General of Home Guard (Delhi), has been serving the post since the retirement of former CP Sanjay Arora on July 31, 2025.
Recently appointed as the new chief of Delhi Police, Golcha is a 1992 batch police officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram and Union Territories) cadre. He has served as Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Joint Commissioner, and Special CP in the Delhi Police.
He has played an important role as Special CP (Law & Order) during the North-East Delhi riots in 2020.
In May 2024, Golcha appointed (interim charge) as Director General (Prisons) in Delhi following the retirement of Sanjay Beniwal.
