Sanjay Arora, the current Police Commissioner of Delhi, is retiring on July 31. He is 1988 batch, Tamil Nadu cadre officer. Race for the new Police Chief has intensified among AGMUT cadre officers as the government would reportedly no longer seek a senior officer from outside the cadre. The Ministry of Home Affairs has recently decided to shift Anil Shukla, a 1995-batch IPS officer, who was Director General of Police (DGP) in Mizoram, to Delhi. The senior officers are reading a lot into the timing of his transfer. The buzz around two other names is 1992-batch IPS officer Satish Golcha, and his batchmate, Praveer Ranjan. Both are AGMUT cadre officers.  Golcha is presently the Director General of Tihar Jail. He was earlier Special Commissioner (Intelligence) in the Delhi Police and DGP of Arunachal Pradesh. Ranjan, currently CISF ADG, was the DGP of Chandigarh and Special Commissioner (Crime) in Delhi.
