The debate surrounding the transfer of Prabhakar Chaudhary, a 2010 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, is far from over, with his father Parasnath Chaudhary, a local BJP leader in Uttar Pradesh, now alleging in a viral video that the IPS officer was transferred because he saved Bareilly from a riot-like situation. The transfer occurred hours after Mr. Prabhakar Chaudhary acted against a group of kanwariyas who wanted to take out a religious procession through an unauthorised route in Bareilly district on July 30.
Mr. Parasnath Chaudhary, who has been a BJP office-bearer for decades, said that he would now oppose the BJP, and would not let the saffron party win in at least ten to twenty villages of his home district of Ambedkar Nagar.
