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”.
