New Delhi: In a recent development, a significant reshuffle has taken place in the Delhi Police, with the appointment of Sagar Preet Hooda as the new Special Commissioner of Police (Intelligence) and Satish Golcha assuming the role of Director General (Prisons).

Sagar Preet Hooda, a 1997-batch IPS officer, previously held the position of Special Commissioner of Police-Operations (PCR and Communication). In his new role, Hooda will be responsible for overseeing intelligence operations within the force, in addition to managing perception and media relations.
