Two district police officers were tonight shifted in the wake of a sting operation by a news channel, in which they have reportedly admitted to have delayed taking action to contain the violence under "political pressure".
Inspectors of Budhana and Fhuwana police station were shifted tonight, sources said.
While Budhana inspector Rishipal was sent back to Crime Branch from where he was brought a day ago, Inspector of Fhuwana police station was sent to police lines, sources said.
However, police have termed the transfers as routine.
