The MHA, in October 2016, had issued transfer orders to move the couple to New Delhi.
In 2016, the police officers had made a request to MHA for immediate transfer from Goa but the Goa government didn’t relieve them, reports TOI.
In March 2018, on the request of the Goa Government, the order was kept in abeyance.
