The Gujarat government late on February 28 shunted out Rajkot Police Commissioner Manoj Agarwal after serious allegations of corruption and extortion were levelled by three BJP leaders, including a Minister, a legislator and a Parliamentarian.
Mr. Agarwal, a 1991 batch IPS of the Gujarat cadre, has now been posted at the State Reserve Police Training Institute in Junagadh. The transfer order issued by the Home Department stated Mr. Agarwal was transferred with immediate effect.
His transfer came following a report submitted by senior IPS officer Vikas Sahai, who was asked to conduct an inquiry against him following allegations by the senior functionaries of the ruling party.
