Karnataka government posted B. Dayananda as the Bengaluru police commissioner on May 30. He was heading the State intelligence bureau. He replaces C.H. Pratap Reddy who has been transferred and posted as DGP, Internal Security division.
M.A. Saleem, Special Commissioner of police (Traffic), Bengaluru, has been promoted and posted as DGP, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Special Units and Economic Offences, Bengaluru.
In an effort to tackle the burgeoning traffic problem in Bengaluru, the previous government created a special post and brought in Mr. Saleem as special commissioner. Now, with his promotion and transfer, it is not clear whether the government will continue with the post or go back to giving the responsibility to an additional commissioner of police.
K.V. Sharath Chandra, ADGP, CID has been transferred and posted as ADGP, Intelligence, in place of B. Dayananda.
