Seven SPs transferred
Earlier, the police officers could do nothing when Rajesh Kashuwaha, Chief of Drinking Water and Sewage Department was dragged and shamed across the streets of Janakpur by members of the Janamat Party led by CK Raut on Thursday. According to sources, SP Ranabhat of Dhanusha was transferred due to the weakness shown by the police to take control of the incident.
As a result, issues were raised regarding the weakness of the police department for not being able to control the growing rate of crime in the Sarlahi district. Following the allegations from the public, SP Rathore, too, was transferred by the headquarters.
