Lucknow: In a major reshuffle in Uttar Pradesh police, the Adityanath-led government on Friday transferred 12 senior IPS officers, including state DGP Javeed Ahmed.

Sulkhan Singh, a 1980-batch IPS officer, has been appointed as the new DGP in place of Ahmed who has been shifted as the DG of Uttar Pradesh Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), a senior Home department official said.
