Kolkata, May 5 : On the first day in office in her third term as the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday effected a major reshuffle in the police hierarchy, transferring 29 top officers, mostly bringing back policemen to their former positions who were transferred by the Election Commission during the recently concluded Assembly polls.
Among the top-level officers who have been brought back to their former positions are Director General Virendra, ADG (Law and Order) Jawed Shamim, and DG (Security) Vivek Sahay.
KOLKATA: In a major reshuffle in its IPS cadre, the West Bengal government on Monday shifted Diamond Harbour Police District SP Bholanath Pandey to a much unimportant post of SP Home Guard.
The order was issued on Monday, more than a fortnight after BJP chief J P Nadda s convoy was attacked while passing through the police district on December 11.
The state government also named South Bengal Inspector General of Police Rajeev Mishra as the South Bengal Additional Director General of Police.
Mishra was one of the three IPS officers who were on duty when Nadda s convoy was attacked and later called for central deputations by the Union home ministry.
