The commission’s spokesperson said Vadodara Police Commissioner P.C. Thakur, Ahmedabad’s Joint Police Commissioner P.K Jha and Anand District Superintendent of Police D.S. Bhatt were transferred following complaints of partial conduct.

He said the state’s chief secretary was instructed to suggest names of three officers to replace the outgoing ones by Friday.
