Cancelling the appointment of N. Satheesh Kumar as the Police Commissioner of Mangaluru, the government on Monday posted T.R. Suresh in his place.
Mr. Suresh was the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Fire Services, Bengaluru.
Earlier on May 25, the government had posted Mr. Kumar as Mangaluru Police Commissioner.
It is said that some political leaders were unhappy with his posting as he, as the Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada in 2008, reportedly could not handle church attack cases effectively.
A 2003 IPS officer, Mr. Suresh had also served as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru North.
The government had transferred Mr. Suresh from the post in last September after violence broke out in Bengaluru north over the Cauvery water issue.
