Nagpur police reshuffle: three DCPs transferred, several ACPs moved with immediate effect

A major reshuffle has taken place in the administration of the Nagpur city police. Police Commissioner Vishwas Nangre Patil has ordered the transfer of three Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), effective immediately. Several Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) have also been transferred along with the three DCPs. The moves are part of administrative changes.

According to the order, DCP Rahul Maknikar, who had so far been looking after Police Headquarters, has been made DCP of Zone 5. He has earlier held several important responsibilities in the Nagpur police, including the Detection Branch.

DCP Nityanand Jha, who had been in charge of Zone 5, has been sent to Zone 2. He was posted in Zone 2 before his transfer to Zone 5, when he had taken charge of the zone from DCP Rahul Madne.

DCP Annapurna Singh, who headed Zone 2, has been given charge of Police Headquarters. When she was first posted in Nagpur, she was sent to Zone 2. She will now look after the headquarters department.

Along with the changes at DCP level, the commissioner has also transferred several ACPs of different divisions. Shivprasad Parve has been moved from ACP Kotwali to ACP Sadar. Mahesh Chavan has been made ACP Sakkardara from ACP Nandanvan. Sunilsingh Pawar has been transferred from ACP Sitabuldi to ACP Kotwali.

The aim of the reshuffle is said to be a fresh distribution of responsibilities across the city's police divisions and administrative units. All the transfer orders have come into effect immediately.
