Bengaluru: Bengaluru City Police transferred 71 personnel from the station, following the video of an assistant sub-inspector of police (ASI) assaulting women in Kumaraswamy Layout police station going viral recently.

The transfer order was issued by police commissioner T Suneel Kumar, based on recommendations by Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) K Annamalai. From the rank of police constable to ASI, 71 police personnel were transferred to different police stations. According to the top brass, the transfers were made so as to make Kumaraswamy Layout police station a people-friendly one.

Apart from transfers od 71 personnel, ASI Renukaiah, who assaulted the women, and police constable Abdul Rawath were suspended till further orders. 

Addressing the press after confirming the transfers, Annamalai said that it is not the issue of what is wrong and what is right. He wants a new environment and new culture at the Kumaraswamy Layout police station, therefore most of the cops of Kumaraswamy Layout police station transferred and there should be no groupism in any of the stations.

He further added that he himself had written wrote to the police commissioner, recommending the transfer of these policemen. 

If one or two people involved in the incident are transferred, the old system and environment remain, so it should not be considered as punishment. their intention was to bring a good name to Bengaluru City Police, he added.

On January 19, Renukaiah had assaulted Saraswathi, 52, and her daughter Geetharani, 28, when they went to the station over a family dispute.
