Maharashtra’s Director General of Police (DGP), Rashmi Shukla, was transferred days before the state elections, a move that has stirred controversy. The transfer occurred amidst allegations from opposition parties that Shukla was involved in phone-tapping activities, a claim that she has denied.
The timing of her transfer has raised questions about its political implications and the transparency of administrative changes in law enforcement.
The state government’s decision to transfer Shukla has sparked debates regarding the fairness and independence of the police force during politically sensitive times.
While the ruling government maintains that the transfer was routine, critics argue that it may have been influenced by political motivations. Investigations into the allegations of phone tapping are underway.
