Three women DCPs Usha Rangnani, Shweta Chauhan and Esha Pandey who were heading the districts of North West, Central and South East have been transferred. 

Usha Rangani is now DCP Special Branch, Shweta Chauhan has been appointed as DCP General Administration and DCP Esha Pandey will now serve as DCP Traffic.
