Tough officer and a rockstar

When he’s not fighting crime, Joint Commissioner of Police, Kumar Vishwajeet is also a poet, lyricist, musician and singer

Kumar Vishwajeet is one of the city’s top cops handling security. The joint commissioner of police may be a stern master when it comes to matters of security, but behind the khaki uniform is a multi-faceted artist. Vishwajeet dons many hats; he is a poet, lyricist, musician, singer, writer and trans- lator. “I have been training in Hindustani classical music since childhood and I started writing in college,” he says. Vishwajeet’s writing and musical expertise led to the compilation of an album of new age patriotic anthems.
