Kolkata, Oct 26 (IANS) The officer-in-charge of Chetla Police Station has been removed after a man was brutally murdered with a digging bar near the residence of Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim in south Kolkata, a senior state government official said on Sunday. Amitabh Sarkhel, who was earlier the Additional OC of Alipore Police Station, has been appointed as the new OC of Chetla Police Station.

It is worth mentioning that Sukhendu Mukherjee was serving as the OC of Chetla Police Station earlier. However, though he held the post of OC, he had already been promoted as an Assistant Commissioner and continued to discharge dual responsibilities. Following the sensational incident on Saturday night, the state administration immediately replaced him and brought in a new OC for the police station.
