The Election Commission of India on Tuesday (23.04.2024) issued transfer orders for two senior IPS officers with immediate effect in Andhra Pradesh.
They are;
- P Sitaramanjaneyulu (IPS:1992:AP), DGP, Intelligence
- Kanthi Rana Tata (IPS:2004:AP), Police Commissioner, Vijayawada
The ECI stated that the two officers should not be assigned any election-related work. The two senior IPS officers were blamed for the security lapse during the tour of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy under the Memantha Siddham programme, wherein he suffered injury above his left eyebrow when a resident of Vaddera Colony pelted a stone on him on April 13.
It directed the Chief Secretary to send a panel of three IPS officers for either posts by 3 pm on Wednesday.
