Police inspector Sudhir Dalvi, attached to Malad police station, has been transferred to Nanveez in Daund.
Crime branch inspector Nandkumar Gopale, an officer with an excellent record of investigation, was transferred to police training at Jalna.
Inspector Sachin Kadam has been shifted to Tribal Research & Training Institute Aurangabad and inspector Kedar Pawar to Jalgaon.
While the director general of police (DGP) office maintains that these officers have been transferred on administrative grounds, transfers of these five selective officers before the completion of their tenures is seen as strife among the senior IPS officers.
Most of these officers have worked under Deven Bharti, who is now heading the Maharashtra State Security Corporation.
