Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Satish Mathur on Sunday took charge as the new Director General of Police (DGP) of Maharashtra.
He was formally handed over the charge by outgoing DGP Praveen Dixit at a formal ceremony in Mumbai.
Mathur, a St Stephen's alumni, is the first IPS officer in the country to be trained by the National Security Guard (NSG).
