The Election Commission of India on Monday transferred four IPS officers in the districts where Assembly polls would be held in the next three phases and the Trinamul Congress accused the poll panel of acting at the behest of the BJP and transferring officers without consulting the state government.
In an order issued by EC secretary Arvind Anand, the superintendents of police of Birbhum and East Burdwan were transferred, along with the Asansol-Durgapur commissioner of police and the Bolpur subdivisional police officer.
The EC has posted Ajeet Kumar Singh as the SP of
East Burdwan in place of Bhaskar Mukherji, while Nagendra Nath Tripathi has been appointed as the SP of Birbhum in place of Miraj Khalid.
