With countdown of elections beginning in Rajasthan, the state government effected transfer of 20 IPS officers ahead of the implementation of model code of conduct.
The government posted eight officers who have been recently promoted to IPS from state police services. Among these officers, three officers – Krishna Chand, Rajesh Kumar Yadav and Naresh Singh Meena – have been made superintendent of Police in newly carved districts of Shahpura, Gangapur City and Dudu respectively. Another four officers have been posted in Jaipur and Jodhpur Commissionerates while Laxman Das has been posted as Superintendent of Police, Cyber Crime.
The transfer list has two DIG level officers – Preeti Chandra and Om Prakash. While Chandra has been transferred to Armed Battalion from home security, Om Prakash has been given charge of SDRF.

The government has also given posting to Sushil Kumar who was first suspended following a brawl in a hotel in Kishangarh and was then later put on APO. He has been posted as commandant, 5th battalion, RAC.
The BuckStopper, run by a group of seasoned journalists, holds the powerful accountable. The buck stops with them, as they cannot shrug off their official responsibilities.
