Generally, it has been a tradition to display pictures of the Commissioner of Police at various police stations and units besides the photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, President of India among others. However, Sanjay Arora was not keen on his pictures being put up at police stations or any units associated with the force, a senior police officer said.
