Bangalore: Mysore city police commissioner Chandrashekhar, who faced criticism from some quarters over his position on the alleged "Mysore sex scandal" linked with three Karnataka High Court judges, was on December 16 transferred without being given any posting, official sources said.

After the controversy broke out, Chandrashekhar had denied any such incident had taken place, inviting criticism, and has been maintaining that there was no attempt on his part to cover up the alleged episode.

Facing the allegation that he was trying to "hush up" the incident, Chandrashekhar had recently appealed to the High Court to order an independent enquiry into the "Mysore episode".

Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) managing director Bipin Gopalakrishna has been posted in place of Chandrashekhar, the sources said.
