Patna, Sep 14 (PTI) In compliance with the directive of the Election Commission ahead of the assembly polls, 54 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSP) were today transferred in Bihar even as the poll body rejected allegations by RJD that there was a caste bias in the transfers.
The state Home (police) department notified the transfers this afternoon after the Commission gave its nod on the proposal sent by state administration in this regard, official sources said.
"The movement orders - asking the DSPs to report to their respective places of posting - have also been issued by the state police headquarters", the sources told PTI.
Earlier, the Commission had asked the state government to transfer DSPs on "administrative grounds" and ensure that those officials who had completed their tenure of three years at one place were removed.
The Commission had asked the government to fill all the vacant posts of the DSPs and Sub-Divisional Police Officers (SDPO).
The Commission, which had also ordered shifting of the officials who were posted in their home districts, had expressed unhappiness over the delay in execution of the warrants of arrest against around 70,000 people declared 'absconders' by the adminsitration.
