Sanjay Barve, who until very recently led the Anti-Corruption Bureau in its charge against corruption in the Mumbai Police, now finds himself on the flipside of things as the city's new police commissioner. Keen to avoid embarrassment for the force under his watch, one of Barve's first moves was to ask his joint commissioners to visit one police station every day to keep a closer watch on junior officers.

When Sanjay Barve was Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), the corruption watchdog had managed to trap six crooked cops from Mumbai Police in as many months. The relentless scandals had greatly embarrassed the outgoing commissioner, Subodh Jaiswal. This time, Barve is in the hot seat, and unwilling to face similar embarrassment.
