ACP Trivedi moved to state IB Wednesday, July 11, 2001

By a Crime Reporter, The Times of India News Service
AHMEDABAD: The state home department, in a sudden move, transferred assistant commissioner of police (crime) Subhash Trivedi as deputy superintendent of police (intelligence) with effect from July 6.

Seen as a well-calculated move, made reportedly after a representation by Trivedi before the home ministry, the police fraternity is reading much more into it than just a routine transfer, especially since it was a lone move and there was no simultaneous replacement at the crime branch.

Incidentally, Trivedi had been on 'sick leave' for 15-odd days and was last seen at the Rathyatra when he had specially reported for duty. When contacted, Trivedi said that "his time was up", and that he had wanted the change. Asked why he had gone on leave, Trivedi, who has completed some two-and-a-half years in the crime branch, did not say much except that he was not well for sometime.

Sources in the department, however, say Trivedi was not happy with the new change of guard in the crime branch, especially with hard-task master deputy commissioner of police G S Malik posted right over him.

With Malik's entry, the city crime branch's 'bi-polar' existence came to a virtual end with the senior officer, though posted at Shahibaug, making regular visits to the Gaekwad Haveli headquarters of the crime branch.

Sources in the crime branch said there had been a lot of resentment within the branch on account to Trivedi who was blamed for creating a "coterie of police officers" which had reportedly led to groupism in the branch. "There were a lot of divisions created even within the constabulary which had led to the demoralisation of the staff for lack of a good leader," confided one official.

Sources close to Trivedi admit that "he had enjoyed virtual independence at the Haveli premises, and had wanted it to remain that way."
