SP facing axe?


By CT reporter
MANGALORE : It has been reliably learnt that chief minister HD Kumaraswamy has intentions of transferring the Dakshina Kannada district superintendent of police B Dayanand who has been charged with failure to contain the violence that broke out in Mangalore recently.
Earlier, several JD(S) leaders of the district had complained to the chief minister that while the district minister was responsible for the violence, the SP had failed to contain it on time. It has even been gathered that the CM had also gathered information from senior police officials on the inaction of the SP.
At the same time, the chief minister, it is learnt, is not interested in transferring the SP right now and is awaiting the report from the Additional Chief Secetary who is probing the riots. Considered the present developments it may not be wrong to say that the countdown for the SP’s transfer has begum. Though SP Dayananda was considered the most courageous and efficientof all the SPs in the state as at present, he had only brought disrepute to himself by trying to please the district minister.
