Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (GA)

Mangalore, Feb 14: Reports reaching Daijiworld office said that Ullal inspector Jayant Shetty has been transferred.  However an official confirmation of this news is yet to be made.  Sources also said that he has been replaced by inspector P S Hegde of encounter fame.

Jayant Shetty who will always be remembered for his great deeds as chief of then newly-formed Anti-Rowdy Squad had also been instrumental in controlling communal violence in the Ullal region recently.  However, there were some remarks made about him especially regarding the measures he took to control the miscreants.

Now he has been transferred.  Though nothing is official yet, it is quite clear that he has once again been used as pawn in the dirty game of politics.  If the news about his transfer is true, then it is also very true that a huge amount of lobbying is gone behind the screens to transfer him.  His stringent methods, disciplined approach to duty, non-partial attitude have now turned against him. 

One of the scribes who knows Jayant Shetty for long even told that police officers of his calibre would never succeed in staying in a single place for long because they please none.  Duty and enforcement of law in its true sense are their priorities which sadly are among the few things which the elected representatives do not like, he added.
