The big reason behind these transfers is the recent criticism the Yogi Adityanath government has come under regarding the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.

Unnao district police captain named Pushpanjali Devi has also been transferred.

Pushpanjali Devi has now been given duty at the DGP main official. Pushpanjali has been replaced with Harish Kumar in Unnao. Harish Kumar for a long time had been in the DF department. Questions were raised about Pushpanjali Devi in the Unnao Rape Case. Speculations were regarding Pushpanjali's transfer. Many experts believe it was only a question of when and not why.

The big reason behind these transfers is the recent criticism the Yogi Adityanath government has come under regarding the law and order situation in the state. Though the state police has been carrying out encounters in the state, the situation hasn't really improved. This seems to be a post damage image repair by the UP CM intended to send a tough signal to the officers before the crucial 2019 General Elections.
