India, Aug. 21 -- Satish Golcha, chosen to be the new Delhi Police Commissioner, has held several key posts in the national capital in his three-decade career so far in the Indian Police Service (IPS).

He moves to the position of chief of police in the national capital after serving, most recently, as its director general for prisons. He took up that post last year, with the high-profile Tihar Jail, and the Mandoli and Rohini prisons among others, under his supervision.

Before that he was deputed as Special Commissioner of Police (Intelligence) in Delhi.

This is a developing story; more updates will soon be added.
