Luv Kumar, who was SSP of Saharanpur and hit the headlines for banning a procession led by a BJP MP after which his house was attacked, has been shifted out and posted as SSP Noida. His earlier post was taken by Subhash Chandra Dubey. Mahoba SP Gaurav Singh has been sent to Rae Bareli as the new district police chief. Shailesh Kumar Pandey has been named as the new SP of Jaunpur and Harvinder as SP of Kannauj.

Dinesh Chandra Dubey has been made SSP of Agra while Deepak Kumar will be the new SSP of Lucknow. He has replaced Manjil Saini, an official posted by the previous Samajwadi Party government.
