Police Inspector Anand Narvekar, who was awaiting posting, has been transferred to the Cyber Crime Police Station along with five police sub-inspectors.
The sub-inspectors include Somshekhar Biradar from Quepem Police Station and Pratik Bhat Prabhu from Ponda Police Station. Sitaram Malik from the Anti-Narcotics Cell has also been transferred, along with two other sub-inspectors from the existing police setup.
The transfer order also covers personnel from several police stations and specialised units across the state, including the Women Police Station, Panaji Coastal Security Police Station, Crime Branch at Ribandar, Economic Offences Cell, Pink Force, Petition Cell (Vigilance) and Konkan Railway Police Station.
