Anand Swaroop

IPS, Uttar Pradesh cadre

41transfers, as of May 2013; reports range from 38 to 41. 1 on the ribbon below, 1 of them documented.

UP police officer whose transfers India Today put at 38 in 18 years, mostly in the second decade; the 2013 RTI list gives 41.

India Today (Oct 2012): 8 transfers in his first 8 'stable' years and 30 in the next 10, i.e. 38 in 18 years. The 2013 UP RTI list has an IG 'Anand Swarup (41)'; probably the same officer (inferred from name and rank).

This count comes from analyses of service records, not from a reported dispute. Few of these moves have a published reason, and a high count is not evidence that the officer was punished.

The moves, and what came of them

Oldest first. Each fold is marked by how well the record holds it.

  1. Documented

    India Today profiled him among bureaucrats who 'suffered at the hands of the political class'. As SSP Etah (2004) and Firozabad (2005) he tore up history sheets of criminals.

    Up against
    UP's political leadership (unnamed)
    Reported reason

    Outcome

    What became of the matter
    Not applicable. No specific case or probe is tied to his transfers in the sources.
