Mangalore, Jan 2: In a sudden move, district superintendent of police Labhu Ram has been transferred to Davangere, and Bagalkot SP Abhishek Goyal will be appointed in his place.

Labhu Ram is an IPS officer of 2004 batch and had been in Dakshina Kannada district for his field/practical training in 2006 also. He has also served as in-charge superintendent of police, Udupi district and as Hassan SP, among other postings.
Hailing from Barmar district of Rajasthan, Labhu Ram is a BSc graduate and holds a diploma in general nursing.
The sudden transfer comes in the wake of the stone-pelting incident at Sullia a few days ago, followed by alleged torture of BJP activists which resulted in action against additional SP and nine other policemen.
Abhishek Goyal, who would be replacing him, is of 2005 batch, and is currently the SP of Bagalkot. He did his BTech from IIT Delhi, and has served as subdivisional assistant superintendent of police at Puttur.
In addition, the government also transferred and promoted other IPS officers. Former IGP (Western Range) Alok Mohan has been promoted and appointed as ADGP, recruitment and training, while Alok Kumar has been promoted as IGP.
DG-IGP Shankar M Bidari will also be the chairman of KSPHC.
