SP’s transfer condemned

Members of the Bidar District Minorities Welfare Council took out a rally here on Thursday condemning the transfer of N. Satish Kumar, Superintendent of Police .

By transferring him in the middle of an investigation into the murder of BJP leader Rohan Patil, the government was trying to protect the accused, they charged.

Mr. Kumar was transferred as he was trying to arrest Ravi Swamy and M. Riyaz, members of the Bidar City Municipal Council, who were the accused in the murder case, they alleged.

Mr. Kumar had set up a special cell to deal with land disputes.

This had angered the land mafia that forced Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar to transfer him. The Chief Minister should cancel the transfer till the investigation into the murder case was complete, they added.

The members submitted a memorandum to the government. M. Yusuf Khan, district president, and M. Imran Sayeed, general secretary, of the council led the rally.
