Haryana Transfers Karnal Police Officers Amid Protests Over Encounter Allegations
The Haryana government has transferred 29 IPS officers, including Karnal Range IG Ashok Kumar and SP Narendra Bijarniya, amid protests by the Ror community alleging a fake police encounter on August 7. Ashwin Shenvi, returning from the CBI, was appointed Karnal IG, while Bijarniya was reassigned to the Special Task Force. Additional transfers affected several districts, with some earlier postings reversed within 48 hours. The police maintain the encounter involved suspects linked to a recent murder, but community members dispute this account.
