Seen as a pre-Assembly poll exercise, Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh late on Thursday night effected a massive reshuffle at the top-level police administration in the state, transferring as many as 27 IPS and five State Police Service cadre officers. This was the largest ever reshuffle of top-level police officers in one go in the state, which goes to Assembly polls in 2013.
Of the reshuffled police officers, two range inspectors-general of police (IGPs) and seven district superintendents of police (SPs) have been shifted reportedly after falling out with their respective local ruling BJP MPs, MLAs and other party leaders, sources in the chief minister’s office told this newspaper here on Friday.
The CM reportedly transferred IGP and SP of Bilashpur district, Arun Deo Gautam and Ajey Yadav respectively, following alleged pressure from local MP Dilip Singh Judeo. Mr Judeo had expressed his resentment over alleged ill-treatment of his followers by the police.
Similarly, IGP of Sarguja range Rajesh Mishra has been shifted to an inconsequential post of IG, jail, at Raipur, after he reportedly defied local ruling party leaders on law and order issue in his region.
