Who's shunted West Bengal top cop Rajeev Kumar, considered 'close' to CM Mamata?
The Election Commission (EC) has taken swift action by removing West Bengal DGP Rajeev Kumar and six state chief secretaries to ensure a fair electoral process for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. This decision was made in light of concerns over potential election-related violence and law and order issues in the state. Rajeev Kumar, known for his close ties to Mamata Banerjee's government, has been relieved of his election-related responsibilities for the third time.
