Satish Golcha, a seasoned IPS officer from the 1992 batch, has taken the helm as Delhi Police Commissioner, noted for his pivotal role in exposing the fabricated narrative spun by Pakistan's ISI in the 2009 Shopian case.
The case, initially projected as a sexual assault, was later unveiled as a conspiracy devised by separatists, coordinated by handlers across the border, to destabilize South Kashmir. Golcha, then Deputy Inspector General in the CBI, spearheaded a dedicated team to dismantle this narrative.
The CBI investigation revealed that the two women had drowned, debunking the rape and murder allegations. The case was a strategic attempt by Pakistan's ISI to fuel unrest, resulting in charges against individuals for fabricating evidence and clearing accused police officers of wrongdoing. Golcha's track record includes significant cases like the Ruchika molestation and 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases.
