The Madhya Pradesh government on Sunday transferred two more senior police officials following outrage over the alleged apathy of the police in registering a case in connection with the gang rape of a 19-year-old college student in the city last week.
The Home Department today ordered the transfer of Inspector General (IG)-Bhopal range Yogesh Choudhary and Government Railway Police (GRP) Superintendent, Bhopal railway division, Anita Malviya.
Mr. Choudhary, who has been shifted to the State police headquarters as IG (Law & Order and Security), has been replaced by Jaideep Prasad, who will take charge as IG-Bhopal range.
Mr. Malviya has been shifted to the police headquarters as Assistant Inspector General (AIG), the Home Department order said.
According to reports, Mr. Malviya has faced action for not acting sensitively in the matter.
Two days back, city Superintendent of Police (SP)-MP Nagar Zone Kulvant Singh was transferred to the police headquarters over the alleged delay in registering the case.
The government has already suspended three Inspectors and two Sub Inspectors for their alleged negligence, which delayed the registration of the case.
The 19-year-old woman was abducted and raped allegedly by four men near the railway tracks in vicinity of the Habibganj Railway Station here on the night of October 31.
