Groupism in police station: DCP Annamalai transfers 71 cops!
Bengaluru, Feb 1: Close on the heels of rumours about groupism in the police stations in Bengaluru South, DCP Annamalai has transferred total 71 police personnel immediately.
This is the first time in the history of the Bengaluru police stations that the entire staff of the Kumaraswamy Layout police station was transferred.
What’s reason?
Recently, there was internal conflict between the police personnel of Kumaraswamy Layout station on various cases. Moreover, two groups of police personnel of the station clashed over a case related to a woman.
Some police personnel have alleged that ASI Renukaswamy has assaulted the woman. There was a rumour that a few police personnel have stolen the rifles and hid them in order to suspend the station officer. It was also reported in the media. After discussing with the City Police Commissioner, DCP Annamalai has transferred all the personnel, sources said.
‘Let police become pro-people’
“There were many allegations against Kumaraswamy Layout police station. If some personnel were transferred, then again it would have negative impact. So, all police personnel were transferred. Police should be pro-people”.

Attack on Chennai doctor: Strict law needed to stop such violence, says IMA Goa
Panaji (PTI): The Indian Medical Association's Goa branch has condemned the attack on an oncologist by a patient's relative at a hospital in Chennai and demanded a stringent and deterrant legislation to curb violence against doctors in the country.
Such cases need to be fast-tracked, with exemplary punishment to culprits, it said.
Dr Balaji Jagannathan (53) was stabbed at least seven times on Wednesday by a man at the Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital in Chennai allegedly over grievances regarding the treatment of his mother at the facility, according to hospital officials.
The doctor was being treated and his condition was reported to be stable, they said.
The 26-year old accused was later arrested.
Condemning the attack, IMA Goa president Dr Sandesh Chodankar on Wednesday said, "This (attacks on medical professionals) has become a regular and recurring phenomena in healthcare sector across India which clearly exposes the failure on part of the government to take care of safety and security issues threatening the very existence of this noble profession."
The incident has happened despite community awareness, token strikes, rallies, candle marches and sensitisation of stakeholders conducted after the incident of rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata in August, he noted.
Chodankar said the IMA has been demanding a strong and stringent central law for violence against doctors at pan-India level with fast tracking of such cases and extraordinary and exemplary punishment to the culprits.
The government should take a note of this sensitive issue and come out with a deterrent legislation, he said.
Referring to the incident in Chennai, Chodankar said this act of "national shame" by patients and their attendants seems to be unstoppable at this point of time, clearly exposing the system's failure.
