In a significant top-level reshuffle in the Delhi Police, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Friday appointed senior IPS officer Anurag Kumar as the Commissioner of Police, Delhi.

According to an official order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Anurag Kumar, a 1994-batch IPS officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory) cadre, will take over the charge with immediate effect.

"With the approval of the Competent Authority, Sh. Anurag Kumar, IPS (AGMUT:1994) is hereby appointed as Commissioner of Police, Delhi with effect from the date of assumption of charge and until further orders," the MHA order stated.
