Ambedkar University Delhi to hold special admission drive for vacant UG, PG seats in September
Ex-Delhi Police Chief Satish Golchha has been reassigned to a new role as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in the Directorate of Home Guards until the current Director General Virender Singh retires on September 30, as per a government directive issued on Tuesday. His appointment comes into effect from October 1, when he will assume the post of DG, Home Guards.
The government order specified that Delhi Police will retain Golchha on their rolls to ensure he receives salary against an available position until he assumes his new role.
Golchha assumed the position of Police Commissioner on August 22, 2025, but his tenure was abruptly terminated on July 17 of the same year. Reports had previously indicated that his dismissal was due to disagreements over administrative decisions within the force, such as alterations in the appointment of Station House Officers (SHOs) and his handling of the protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar, which concluded last month.
Golchha's sudden removal from the Chief Commissioner post has raised questions about the reasons behind his sudden departure.
