Mir has been transferred and posted as ADGP, Headquarters, Police Headquarter (PHQ) against available vacancy, the order added.

Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police S P Vaid also brushed aside these reports saying that the state police has been fighting a proxy war for decades and any speculative reporting, which can affect the morale of the cops, should be avoided.

Speculative articles which undermine their morale should be avoided. As regards to transfer, it's routine matter and prerogative of the government," he tweeted. (ANI)
