Mamata Banerjee forgets own 'protest', promotes 'killer' cop
- 5 years ago
In a major reshuffle, IPS officer Gyanwant Singh, who's promotion was stalled following his alleged involvement in Rizwanur Rahaman's mysterious death in 2007, was on Tuesday promoted as DIG Murshidabad Range in West Bengal, Home department sources said.
The promotion was cleared after the senior police officer got clean chit from the committee that probed his alleged involvement in the case, the sources said.
At present, Singh was working as Commandant First Battalion of the State Armed Police.
Bowing to pressure from within his party as well as the growing public discontent over the death of Rizwanur Rehman, the then Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee shunted out Kolkata Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee and four other senior police officers including Singh, then a Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police, for their alleged "intervention" in the case in October, 2007.
