India News: Jaisalmer SP Pankaj Choudhary shunted for taking on Congress MLA's father
Merely days after the suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal in Uttar Pradesh, IPS officer Pankaj Choudhary was transferred allegedly for reopening the history sheet of Gazi Fakir, who is accused of smuggling and other activities.
Choudhary, who was serving as the Jaisalmer SP, was transferred after he reopened the history sheet of a local Congress MLA Saleh Mohammad's father, Gazi Fakir.
A bandh has been called in the city by traders and residents on Sunday to protest against Choudhary's transfer.
"I have no regrets about acting against history-sheeters. I was doing my job," said Choudhary. Fakir had a history sheet opened against him for the first time on July 31, 1965 but that file went missing in 1984.Although the history sheet was reopened after six years in 1990, it was closed in May 2011 by an ASP-rank official when he had been holding charge as SP.Pointing out that the closure of the history sheet had been unlawful, sources said that the same was therefore reopened on July 31.
"Following a direction from the ADG, the history sheet for Gazi (has been) reopened. His suspicious activities will now be properly monitored by local police," a senior police officer said.
