Deven Bharti, former joint commissioner of police (law and order), was on Sunday transferred as joint commissioner of Economic Offences Wing (EOW). While the official line is that he had overshot his tenure, sources said that the top brass of the Indian National Congress met senior officials of the Election Commission on Friday accusing Bharti of being pro-Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP). Taking serious note of this, Arora issued an instant order asking the state government to transfer him from his current post with immediate effect.
