Delhi ACB chief MK Meena transferred the SHO. IBNLive[/caption]Inspector Brij Mohan has been appointed as the new SHO of ACB. He will replace Inspector Vinay Malik with immediate effect, sources said.Malik is considered close to the AAP government-appointed ACB chief SS Yadav and had been playing a crucial role in the recent anti-corruption action, according to the sources.The move can further intensify the tussel between Meena and Yadav who operate from the same premises.The face-off between Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had resulted in the Delhi government's ACB having two chiefs.It all began on 8 June, when Joint Commissioner Meena, a 1989-batch Indian Police Service officer, took charge of ACB after he was appointed by Jung, superseding Additional Commissioner SS Yadav. Yadav had been hand-picked by Delhi government for the post.The AAP government had reacted by terming the appointment illegal and claimed that there was no post of joint commissioner in ACB.PTI
