Chief minister Ashok Chavan on Thursday shunted out anti-terrorism squad (ATS) head Krish Pal Raghuvanshi after the Union home ministry sent a fresh reminder to the Maharashtra government on taking action against him. Raghuvanshi will be replaced by crime branch chief Rakesh Maria.
Known as an efficient and honest IPS officer in the corridors of power, Raghuvanshi will be the new additional director general of police (law and order) in place of Sanjeev Dayal, who has taken over as ADG (Special Operations).
A week ago, Chidambaram had come down heavily on Raghuvanshi for disclosing more information than necessary to the media on the arrest of two suspected terrorists, who had drafted a plan to attack sensitive installations in Mumbai. In his media briefing, Raghuvanshi had referred to someone called `Uncle' in Pakistan who had trained the terrorists. Chidambaram's contention was that Raghuvanshi's reference was irresponsible, since it had an adverse impact on the ongoing probe and also alerted a section of terrorists.
