Delhi Police PRO retires

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Ravi Pawar, an Indian Information Service officer who served as spokesperson of the Delhi police for 23 years, will retire on September 30. During his long tenure he has worked with 12 Police Commissioners including Ved Marwah, M.B.Kaushal, Nikhil Kumar, T.R.Kakkar, R.S.Gupta, Ajai Raj Sharma and K.K.Paul.

Mr. Pawar brought about various innovative changes to better media-police relationship. Senior police officers acknowledge that he successfully handled media relations when it came to incidents like the serial transistor bomb blasts, assassination of Indira Gandhi and the communal riots that followed, terrorist strikes, escape of notorious conman Charles Sobhraj from Tihar Jail and militant attacks on the Red Fort and Parliament.

Newsletter

Mr. Pawar was also instrumental in conceptualising a monthly newsletter, Delhi Police Samachar, and a television serial, "Police File Se", telecast on Doordarshan in 1986.
