"The DGP has been asked to inquire into the matter relating to the SAP ADG. Necessary steps will be taken on the suggestions of DGP Manmohan Praharaj," Chief Secretary B K Patnaik told reporters in Bhubaneswar.
The confederation, the largest police body in the state, had served an ultimatum to the government to order a high-level enquiry into the conduct of SAP ADG, M Nageswar Rao, a 1986-batch IPS officer, accusing him of transferring policemen in an arbitrary manner.
When contacted, Rao declined to comment on the issue and allegation levelled by the confederation.
Confederation president Padmanav Behera said if the demands are not met by the deadline, constables, sepoys, havildars would launch indefinite stir from May 16.
The confederation also threatened to perform duties without food for three days from May 16 and if their demands are not fulfilled, they would boycott duties en mass from the next day, he said.
