In a major reshuffle in Rajasthan’s police administration, the state government transferred 64 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers late on Friday night.

The exercise appeared to be more performance-driven than a routine administrative move, as 41 of the 64 officers have now been transferred for the second time within a span of just eight months.

According to the transfer list, at least 10 officers received fresh postings within a short period of four to six months after their previous assignments.

The late-night reshuffle also brought significant changes at the district level, with Superintendents of Police (SPs) replaced in 22 of the state’s 41 districts.

This is the second major round of transfers in the police hierarchy in recent weeks.

About three weeks ago, on February 23–24, the state government had ordered a major reshuffle involving 21 senior officers of the rank of Inspector General (IG) and above.
