cop's transfer

They also gave a memorandum to state Home Minister Gordhan Zadafia demanding revocation of Inspector Prakash Mehra's suspension.

The bandh was total and examinations for primary and secondary classes in the schools in the area were cancelled, police said.

Following the attack on the journalists at a peace meeting attended by Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar, Mehra was suspended while Additional Police Commissioner Shivanand Jha and Deputy Police Commissioner V M Parghi were transferred to Rajkot and state reserve police respectively.

Mehra maintained that the police used force to save Patkar from the mob at the Sabarmati Ashram, where she was manhandled while attending the meeting.
