The officials working in the Directorate of Vigilance (DoV) have been asked to join the Provisional and Logistics Unit of the Delhi Police with immediate effect.
Seven policemen, reportedly attached with S S Yadav, the additional commissioner of police of the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB), have been transferred from the ACB to the Delhi Police.
In an order issued on Wednesday evening, the officials working in the Directorate of Vigilance (DoV) have been asked to join the Provisional and Logistics Unit of the Delhi Police with immediate effect.
The seven policemen worked in Yadav’s office, while one of them was Yadav’s section officer (SO), an ACB official told The Sunday Express.

“These officials are Sub-Inspector Girish Gothwal, who was a SO, Head Constable Jitender, constables Lalit Mohan, Rajneesh Bisht, Manish Meena, Parvinder Kumar and Prashant Chaudhary,” said the officer.
Another ACB official had also been transferred to Delhi Police recently, said sources. “The Station House Officer (SHO) of ACB, Inspector Vinay Malik, was transferred and asked to report to Delhi police headquarters on September 17,” said ACB sources.
Days after his appointment, ACB chief M K Meena had issued an order appointing Inspector Brijmohan as the new SHO of the agency.
Sources in the ACB said Meena was not happy with the work of Inspector Malik as he had been working with Yadav for the past 14 months and was not working on his directions.

However, the order was annulled by the Directorate of Vigilance, which claimed that it was an “unauthorised” one and advised Meena to refrain from passing such orders in the future.
“All the police personnel, who have been transferred, were close to Yadav,” said the ACB official.
