Chennai: Five police inspectors, who had previously served in stations under the Kolathur and Harbour police sub-divisions and were transferred before the Model Code of Conduct came into effect during elections, were moved from their current positions on Wednesday.
The transferred officers include S Ramesh of Otteri, G S Pushparaj of Meenambakkam, I Khader Meera of Madhavaram, and A Kannaki of Vanagaram from the law and order wing, along with T Kirubanithi of the Maduravoyal from the crime wing. All five have been kept without posting.
On Tuesday, Greater Chennai Police Commissioner Abhin Dinesh Modak ordered the transfer of these five inspectors and directed them to report to the Vacant Reserve of the Greater Chennai Police with immediate effect. The order specified that the officers must report to the Vacant Reserve wing pending fresh postings.
Copies of the transfer orders were forwarded to the additional commissioners of police handling law and order, traffic, headquarters, and central crime branch wings, as well as to joint commissioners and deputy commissioners of police in various city zones and administrative divisions.
