The police chiefs of Rajasthan's Hanumangarh, Churu and Bhiwadi have been transferred by the Election Commission ahead of the assembly elections in the state. The Collector of Alwar has been transferred as well after it was found that they were suspected of being complicit in the local liquor trade.
Hanumangarh, Churu and Bhiwadi are part of the liquor transit route. Sources said illegal liquor from Haryana and Punjab enters Rajasthan through Hanumangarh, Churu, Jhunjhunu and Alwar districts. It reaches the hinterland districts as well as the neighbouring state of Gujarat.
