From a man planning to sell tortoises illegally to a woman facing digital arrest, stories of crime and humanity are given a platform by an extraordinary podcast series- Kissa Khaki Ka. Kissa Khaki Ka is a Delhi Police run podcast series, offering a rare and compelling window into real-life crime-solving, rescue operations and humanitarian services performed by Delhi Police personnel. This pioneering podcast has achieved a significant milestone by completing 200 episodes, marking an extraordinary journey of storytelling, public service and constructive journalism. Kissa Khaki Ka began its journey on 16 January, 2022, under the leadership of Rakesh Asthana, then Commissioner of Police, Delhi, took a new leap under the leadership of Sanjay Arora, the next police commissioner and now Satish Golcha, present police commissioner. It is narrated by Professor (Dr.) Vartika Nanda, a renowned media educator and prison reformer, head, Department of Journalism at Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University. She had conceptualised this series in 2022. The podcast continues to redefine how law-enforcement connects with citizens. 

The Journey:  Since the launch of the podcast, a new episode is released every Sunday at 2 pm on Delhi Police’s official social media platforms, presenting short, immersive narratives ranging from five to ten minutes. 

Genre of the Podcasts:  Over the course of 200 episodes, Kissa Khaki Ka has showcased a wide spectrum of real police experiences - from rescuing kidnapped children and busting drug cartels to exposing scams, preventing cyber fraud, reuniting families, investigating murders and protecting vulnerable communities. Each episode highlights the courage and moral integrity of the force, humanizing the uniform and strengthening public trust.

USP of Kissa Khaki Ka:  At a time when true crime podcasts are hugely popular among young listeners, Kissa Khaki Ka offers a refreshing and meaningful alternative. Instead of focusing only on crime, it highlights the human side of policing - showing officers who go beyond their duty to help, protect and uplift others. Each episode brings forward a positive story, whether it’s an officer opening a school for underprivileged children or someone risking their life to save another. In a world where negative content often gets the most attention, Kissa Khaki Ka stands out by reminding audiences that compassion, courage and integrity still exist. This is what makes the podcast unique: it tells real stories of crime and justice while celebrating the humanity behind the uniform.

Format, Narration and Storytelling: This podcast series has become the signature and brand of Delhi Police. The podcast emphasizes transparency, accountability and the human side of policing, making it a powerful model of constructive and solution-oriented journalism. Kissa Khaki Ka is also embracing AI to enrich its visual storytelling. 

Impact and Relevance:  Kissa Khaki Ka has evolved into far more than a weekly narrative - it has become a social intervention that reshapes how citizens perceive policing, justice and public service. By amplifying real stories of courage, complex investigations and unseen acts of humanity, the podcast compels listeners to look beyond newspaper headlines and witness the emotional, ethical and moral weight carried by police personnel every day. Its thoughtful storytelling challenges long-held police stereotypes, encourages dialogue on system gaps and empowers citizens to reflect critically on issues of crime, safety and accountability. 

The Road Ahead:  According to Shri Sanjay Tyagi, Additional CP, Delhi Police, Kissa Khaki Ka has contributed in transforming public perception through authentic communication. Sub Inspector Neelam Tomar and her team create this magic every week.  

As Kissa Khaki Ka steps into its next phase, it continues to inspire millions with stories that celebrate integrity, dedication and the spirit of the police force. With its 200-episode milestone, the podcast reinforces its role as a meaningful public outreach tool and a testament to the power of storytelling in nation-building.
