Bhojpur district officials DM Tanay Sultania and SP Mr. Raj have been transferred, a move linked by observers to the Bharat Tiwari encounter case, though the official order gives no explicit reason.
The state government has issued a transfer order for District Magistrate Tanay Sultania and Superintendent of Police Mr. Raj, moving them to new postings. The decision comes amid heightened scrutiny of the Bharat Tiwari encounter case, which has drawn political attention across Bihar. While the government has not disclosed a specific rationale for the transfers, media reports suggest that the move may be a response to public and political pressure surrounding the case. Both officials had been in their respective positions in Bhojpur for several years before the transfer. The new appointments are expected to take effect from the end of this month.
