Port Blair, Dec 30: Just when everything was falling in line and law and order situation in Andaman and Nicobar Islands was improving, a major reshuffle of SHO ranked officers have raised many eyebrows.
Although according to senior officers of A & N Police, the reshuffling was a ‘routine move’ and was necessary as per norms. The transfer orders were issued in the last week of November but the reshuffling has just begun.
According to details available here the high profile Police Station, i.e the PS Aberdeen will now be headed by Mr. Jagadishwar Rao, S.I., who was SHO of PS Diglipur. Mr. Rao, who has dealt some crucial high profile cases at Diglipur, has already reported on duty at PS Aberdeen.
Mr. N.S. Stalin, S.I., who dealt with some of the most high profile cases like Gopi Murder Case and dozens of other burglary, prostitution and gambling cases, has been transferred to Police Station Havelock. According to reports he is likely to report at Havelock on the first week of January 2013.
Mr. R K Sharma, Inspector, who was earlier in Anti-Corruption, has been posted as SHO of Central Crime Station, of A & N Police. Mr. Sharma has replaced Mr. Girish, S.I., who came in limelight for dealing with the most sensational Explosive Case. Sub Inspector Girish has been posted in Police Marine Force (PMF).
Sub Inspector Arif, will now head Police Station Pahargaon and he will replace Sub Inspector Joju, who have solved cases like ‘Minor Girl Sent to Brothel by Auto Drivers’. S.I Joju has been made the SHO of PS Diglipur.
Abida Bacchan, Women Sub Inspector, has been transferred to PS Rangat and from PS Rangat Mr. Mahesh has been transferred to Special Branch CID at Port Blair.
Mr. R C Singh, S.I., has been made SHO of PS Ograbranch, as the former SHO of PS Ograbranch, S.I. Sahil Samsuddin, has been transferred to Katchal on request. S.I. Sahil Samsuddin is also known as cyber cop for solving a very difficult cyber crime case and arresting a Kenyan National from Mainland India.
Hope this new transfers will yield positive results for Andaman and Nicobar Islands and officers in new assignments will shine more and bring laurels for the department.
A little bird told Andaman Sheekha that some reshuffling among the Dy.S.P ranked officers of A & N Islands is on the card, considering 2014 elections. It won’t be a surprise if tomorrow all inspector ranked officers are again posted as SHO of prominent Police Stations in 2013.
