JAMMU, June 29: Despite the unwillingness of a few at the police headquarters, a senior police officer has managed to get his "most favourite" Inspector posted as SHO of a police station in Jammu city.
The officer prefers to keep the favourite Inspector with him wherever he goes. This is his third posting with him. He is a regular visitor to the officer's residence and is said to have been brought to Jammu by him to brief him about the happenings in the city and also about the important matters concerning police.
Before his transfer to Jammu zone and then to Jammu district, he was posted in police training academy (PTA), Udhampur. In Jammu, he has been made the SHO of an important police station. The Inspector, who earlier held the charge of this police station, is transferred as the SHO of a peripheral police station. He is the classmate of a minister.
Police sources said the "favourite" Inspector became the officer's trustworthy during his tenure in one of the state police wings. The two have become so close that they now like to work together.
The officer got the Inspector transferred to Jammu zone from the police headquarters. "All know in the department that he has been showering undue favours on the Inspector," the sources added.
Sources said because of his proximity to the senior officer, middle-rung officers also "prefer to keep him in good books".
