Mangalore, May 28: Pramod Kumar, sub-inspector of Bajpe police station near here, who had hogged the limelight during the gram panchayat election held earlier this month, after the Congress Party protested against the department’s move in asking him to proceed on leave, has been transferred.
He has been transferred to the district special branch of the police in the city.
Before being shifted to Bajpe, Pramod was working in Panambur police station, where some quarters had not liked his way of functioning. After he was transferred to Bajpe, he took some stern steps, which apparently hurt the interests of some political leaders. He was asked to go on leave for a few days, during which period, the Congressmen led by Ivan D’Souza, had staged a protest, demanding his reinstatement.
Although it was said that he was to report at the district special branch upon expiry of leave, unexpectedly, he reported back at Bajpe station. Now, all of a sudden, he has been transferred to the district special branch. It is said that political pulls and pressures have been responsible for his frequent transfers.
