50 IPS officers transferred in Maharashtra

Gupta will be the new police commissioner of Pune, according to a government order issued on Thursday evening.

Gupta was in news earlier this year after he allowed businessmen brothers Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan, under scanner in connection with the alleged Yes Bank and Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank scams, to travel from Khandala near Pune to Mahabaleshwar in Satara district amid lockdown.

He was sent on compulsory leave by the state government following uproar over the travel permit, but was later exonerated by a panel probing the matter.

The Maharashtra government order said that 41 officers have been allotted new assignments, while the remaining bureaucrats have not yet been given fresh postings.
