In the backdrop of the PSI recruitment scam that has also set off political ripples, the State Government on Wednesday shunted out Additional Director-General of Police (Recruitment), Amrit Paul. In his place R. Hithendra, ADGP, Crime and Technical Services, has been given concurrent charge of the post.
Mr. Paul has been transferred to head the Internal Security division, while Arun J. Chakravarthy has been transferred out of that post.
The Opposition Congress had come down on ruling party over the recruitment scam, blaming the Home Minister, and demanded that the head of recruitment, along with Home Minister, resign.
