Summary
This Uttar Pradesh IPS officer was transferred 59 times as of May 2013, per a UP Home Department RTI reply to activist Nutan Thakur reported by TOI and HT. No reporting was found on the reasons for any individual transfer or on any clash with politicians. The public record is a count only.
UP Home Department RTI reply to activist Nutan Thakur, reported by TOI, India Today and HT (2013). Highest count among the 43 UP IPS officers moved 40+ times. He is not named in the 2017 RTI report, which suggests he had retired by then (inferred, not checked).
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.
