Yogi govt shunts out Uttar Pradesh's top cop
The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has transferred the state's topmost police official Javeed Ahmed, and chose Sulkhan Singh to replace him. Notably, the BJP had petitioned the Election Commission during the Assembly polls to remove Ahmed, alleging that he was working at the behest of the Samajwadi Party-led government. A total of 12 IPS officers were transferred on Friday.
