Earlier, a senior officer of the Kolkata Police informed that Das was replaced by Chameli Mukhopadhyay, who was posted in Ultadanga police station.
The action against Das, who was serving as the officer-in-charge of Kalighat police station, was taken after a post of his on Facebook began circulating widely online. In the post, Das was seen posing with a firearm and had written the caption “ready for new assignment.”
