Satyabrat Bhoi, a 2004-batch IPS officer, assumed office as the new Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of Bhubaneswar succeeding Nitinjit Singh, who took charge as SP Vigilance, Bhubaneswar.
After taking charge, Bhoi said crime control and the safety and security of children, women and senior citizens of the city would be his top priorities. Crimes like abduction, land fraud and extortion would also be under the scanner of police, he added. The new DCP told reporters that a new plan to maintain law and order in the city would be chalked out soon. He also stated that he would not tolerate any indiscipline in police officials during his regime. On illegal arms trading, Bhoi said he would find out the middlemen of the trade to nab the suppliers and manufacturers.
