The Maharashtra director general of police has issued an order for transferring all inspector cadre officers, who have served for more than eight years in Mumbai, outside the city.
Accordingly, the Mumbai police on Monday, June 28, released a list of such personnel, including police inspectors, assistant police inspectors and police sub-inspectors.
At least 727 policemen of various ranks from sub-inspector to the senior inspector, who have completed eight years of service in Mumbai, are likely to be shifted to other districts, an official said on Wednesday, June 30. However, all these personnel will not be shifted out of Mumbai at the same time as there can be some extra-ordinary considerations, like medical grounds or an officer nearing retirement, the official added.
In such cases, the officer concerned can be exempted from transfer after a review by the establishment board, he said.

Of the 272 police personnel, 89 are senior police inspectors, 253 are inspectors, 375 assistant police inspectors and 10 sub-inspectors.
In the notice, Joint Commissioner of Police (Administration) Rajkumar Vhatkar instructed the listed officers, posted in various units of the city police force, to submit three places of their choice for the new posting.
Earlier, on March 24, as many as 86 Mumbai police personnel, including 65 from the Mumbai crime branch, were transferred. The move had come shortly after controversial Mumbai Police officer Sachin Vaze was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with Antilia explosive scare and the murder of Thane auto parts dealer Mansukh Hiran. Among the 65 transferred crime branch personnel, 28 were police inspectors, 17 assistant police inspectors and 20 police sub-inspectors.
