Greater Chennai Police Commissioner Sandeep Rai Rathore has been transferred to the position of Director at the Tamil Nadu Police Training College, just three days after the brutal murder of the state Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief K. Armstrong by armed assailants last week.
Rathore’s role has been assumed by senior IPS officer A. Arun, who previously served as the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Law and Order, according to an order issued by Principal Secretary P. Amudha of the Home (SC) Department.
