Purola SDM Sohan Singh Saini was transferred and attached with Garhwal Commissioner's office in Pauri on Sunday - day after he lodged a police complaint against local BJP MLA Durgeshwar Lal.
An order issued by the department of personnel on Sunday relieved Saini of his present responsibilities and asked him to take charge at his posting immediately.
The SDM had lodged a police complaint against Durgeshwar Lal at Purola Police Station accusing him of uploading misleading posts about him on the social media through an associate to malign him. He had also accused Mr. Lal of threatening to kill him. Mr. Saini in his complaint had alleged that Mr. Lal had uploaded the posts through a man named Krishna to tarnish his image.
