During his time in Goa (2004–07), Agarwal coordinated policing for the first International Film Festival of India in the state and cracked down on drug-related crimes involving foreign nationals.

In Mayapuri, Delhi (2008–11), he handled the high-profile radioactive material leak case, earning national and international attention for his swift investigation.

As DIG in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, he introduced critical reforms in personnel management and infrastructure between 2011 and 2014.

Later, as Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) in Delhi, he managed logistics and movement for high-security events like the 3rd India-Africa Forum Summit.

  • Led Special Investigation Teams (SITs) into fake encounter cases in Manipur.
