Kumar was transferred to Ghaziabad as senior superintendent of police from Moradabad as the state government shunted out SSP Amit Pathak in sudden transfer orders on Monday night.

The officer from Hanumangarh in Rajasthan holds a master’s degree in economics and said his priority would be to stop crime in the city.

“If it cannot be stopped, then it needs to be controlled. The chain of registration of cases, proper investigation and prosecution in court will worked on priority,” said SSP Kumar. “Any system cannot run in isolation and needs support and help from citizens. It will be wrong if anyone thinks that a police force can eradicate crime on their own. It cannot be done without the support from people.”
