Anupam Agarwal, new Police Commissioner of Mangaluru

Mangaluru: Mangaluru Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar R Jain has been transferred by the Karnataka government. Senior IPS officer Anupam Agarwal will replace him as the next city police commissioner.

State government issued a list announcing the transfer of 35 IPS officers of Karnataka cadre on September 5.

Kuldeep Kumar Jain had been appointed to the post 5 months ago. He had been recognised as an efficient, upright officer. As the police commissioner, Jain had waged a war on drug mafia and had taken up the aim of making Mangaluru ‘drug free’.

Jain’s sudden transfer after serving only a short time has raised eyebrows. Many wondered whether his tough stance against the drug mafia ruffled feathers.
