New Delhi: IPS officer Bhim Sain Bassi will take charge as the Delhi Police chief today, replacing Neeraj Kumar.
A 1977 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre, Mr Bassi was the front-runner for the post.
57-year-old Bassi is presently the special commissioner of police (Administration). He earlier headed the Delhi Traffic Police and was also Goa's director general of police.
Neeraj Kumar, a 1976 batch IPS officer, took charge of Delhi Police from BK Gupta on July 1 last year. His biggest challenge followed the December 2012 gang rape of a young woman that unleashed unprecedented mass protests in the capital. The woman died in Singapore.
