Overview
- The Bihar Home Department issued the transfer on Wednesday, November 4, ordering Bhanu Pratap Singh to report to the Bihar Police Headquarters in Patna.
- Shailendra Singh has been named the new Khagaria SP and Mohibullah Ansari was posted as SP of Sheohar to fill the district-level vacancies.
- The complaint was filed at the Mahila Police Station after Pooja Singh staged a dharna outside the chief minister’s residence and sought intervention from state officials.
- Police say they have received the complaint but have not registered an FIR and the matter remains under investigation while the Bihar State Women’s Commission has summoned the officer for a report.
- Officials say placing an officer at police headquarters is a routine administrative step and follows a pattern of recent transfers used to manage controversy and keep investigations separate from district command.
