UP's New Top Cop Mukul Goel Assures Crackdown On Crime, Connect With People

UP's new DGP Mukul Goel, who from Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district, was born on February 22, 1964, and has done BTech in electrical engineering from IIT, Delhi. He also has a certificate of proficiency in French and a diploma in disaster management.

Mukul Goel, who took over as Uttar Pradesh's new top cop or Director General of Police on Friday, said he would focus on crime control and ensure that policemen are sensitive and connected to people in the state. He also battled for effective use of technology by the police force. "I will ensure that law and order is maintained. We will focus on crime control with the help of people -- it is not possible without their help. Policemen should be sensitive and connected to people so that gap between them reduces and crime is controlled," Mr Goel told reporters after taking charge as the new DGP of the state. He said that many times police ignore petty crimes that create bigger law and order problems later.
