Senior Delhi Police officers transferred

NEW DELHI: In what is seen as a fallout of the Tis Hazari clash, senior Delhi police officers have been transferred. While Special Commissioner of Police Sanjay Singh, who was in-charge of Law and Order North, has been transferred to Licensing and Transport, Additional DCP North Harender Singh has been now moved to railways as DCP.

Meanwhile, Special Commissioner RS Krishna Law and order South has been given the additional charge of law and order North for the time being. Also, DCP Railways Dinesh Kumar Gupta has been moved to North as Additional DCP.

The high court had earlier directed Delhi Police commissioner to transfer two senior officers —Sanjay Singh and Harendra Kumar Singh — for their alleged role in the incident.

Meanwhile, the coordination committee of All District Courts Associations Thursday said the meeting, which was to be held on the directions of the Delhi High Court after the lawyers-cops clash, was cancelled as senior police officers were not present.

"Meeting with police cancelled by coordination committee as senior police officers were not in the meeting. Only the Joint Commissioner of Police, Rajesh Khurana, was there," said Dhir Singh Kasana, secretary of All District Courts Bar Associations.
