Javed Replaces Maria ForThe Post Of Police Commissioner
High-profile Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria, who personally interrogated accused in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case in an unsual action, was today shunted out of the post and transferred on promotion as Director General of Police Home Guards.
Eyebrows were raised as Maria swapped places with Ahmed Javed, who was appointed the new Mumbai Police Commissioner.
Ahmed is a DG-rank officer and the Commissioner’s post has been upgraded.
“Maria is promoted to the Director General rank and posted as the DG of Home Guards in Mumbai in place of Ahmed Javed. Javed (who was DG, Homeguards) becomes the new CP of Mumbai,” Additional Chief Secretary (Home) K P Bakshi told media
He said that post of Mumbai Police Commissioner has been upgraded to ‘Director General’ rank post.
He said Maria, a 1981-batch IPS officer, had been transferred with “immediate effect” and that Javed, also a 1980-batch IPS officer, will take over as the new CP today itself.
“There was no hurry in transferring Maria. It would have been inappropriate to transfer him on September 30, in the middle of the festive season as Ganapati festival, a very important event in Maharashtra would be on at that time.
Therefore, we decided to advance the promotion of Maria,” he said.When asked about the fate of the ongoing Sheena Bora murder case investigation, Bakshi said that all investigations are important and not only this particular case and that the work of the CP is only to supervise the investigation.
“Investigations are conducted by lower-level police officials and supervised by the CP. The new CP is competent.
