KOLKATA: The West Bengal government shifted out the police superintendents of Murshidabad and Jangipur on Friday. While Jangipur SP Ananda Roy has been shifted to command the Eastern Frontier Rifles unit in West Midnapore's Salua, Murshidabad SP Surya Kumar Yadav has been moved to Cooch Behar to command the newly formed Narayani Battalion. Roy is a part of the SIT investigating 138 FIRs connected with the Murshidabad violence.
A Bhabani Bhawan source said DCP (Traffic-South, Kolkata) Amit Kumar Shaw would replace Roy in the SIT. Yadav was part of the probe team that was conducting raids outside the state.
Shaw has been asked to take charge of Jangipur. Kumar Sunny Raj, currently SP of Ranaghat, will be the new Murshidabad SP.
Earlier this month, the Shamsherganj and Suti inspectors-in-charge had been removed.
The transfers come ahead of chief minister Mamata Banerjee's visit to the trouble-hit zones in May. Both places have remained peaceful over the past several days. SIT has so far apprehended 307 people.
Aashish Maurya, who was SS (IB), will be the new SP of Ranaghat. Angshuman Saha, CO of Narayani Battalion, will now be CO of the Special Striking Force, Barrackpore.
The SIT, meanwhile, raided multiple places on Friday. "While the father-son murder case will be our top priority, we have also identified five more cases - including one in which shops were set on fire - where we wish to submit a chargesheet at the earliest," an officer said.
