In a transfer order, Madhta Pradesh government has shifted Guna SP Rajeev Kumar to PHQ Bhopal. By issuing a single order, the Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday transferred Guna SP Rajeev Kumar Mishra and posted him as Assistant Inspector General of Police at Police Headquarters (PHQ Bhopal).
The order was issued nearly 10 days after three policemen were killed in a gunfight with poachers in the district on May 14. Three police personnel were killed on May 14 after a group of poachers opened fire at them in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district. One poacher was killed in the same encounter and a second, in an encounter that took place later on the same day. A third poacher was also killed in an encounter a few days later. In between, two of the accused who were arrested were shot in the legs while they were allegedly trying to flee police custody.
