In a notable development for Hyderabad’s law enforcement, V.C. Sajjanar was appointed as the new Commissioner of Police for the city, officially taking charge on September 26, 2025. Known widely as an encounter specialist, Sajjanar brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for decisive action to this pivotal role.
