Under fire for the Badaun gangrape and murder of two sisters, Uttar Pradesh government today shifted Principal Secretary (Home) Anil Kumar Gupta.
Gupta has been put on the waiting list of posting, an official spokesman here said.
The state government had been in the firing line of all the opposition parties which had been citing the incident as symptomatic of "dismal" law and order situation in the state.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has not yet posted a new official in Gupta's place, the spokesman added.
