New Delhi: Delhi Police on Tuesday refuted suggestions that the transfer of its two Deputy Commissioners were connected with the recent rape incidents in the national capital, saying such reports cast "unwarranted aspersions" on their reputation.
DCP (South) Chhaya Sharma was on Monday transferred to Mizoram and DCP (East) Prabhakar to Prime Minister's Security Wing. Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said Sharma's transfer has been linked with the gangrape of a young girl in a moving bus on December 16, 2012 and it is "factually incorrect".
He said Sharma was actually transfered to Mizoram in November 2011, almost one year prior to the incident of bus gangrape, but on administrative grounds the Union Home Ministry had issued a partial modification of their earlier order allowing her to continue in Delhi till December, 2012.
