Gupta's efforts yielded results as sleuths managed to find lapses in over 3 govt enterprises
THE GOVERNMENT on May 9 transferred or reassigned duties of several IPS officers. Among them was Yogesh Gupta, the director of the vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (VACB), who was shifted to the fire and rescue services department.
Gupta's transfer came when the bureau was in the middle of something. It had recommended dismissal of a forest official caught taking bribery. Not just that. Sources said the bureau wanted FIRs registered against former Kannur district panchayat president P P Divya for allegedly helping a benami firm get government contracts.
