The UP woman police officer who stood up to local BJP leaders and sent five of them to jail for obstructing a government servant from doing her duty has been transferred.&nbsp;

The police officer, Shreshta Thakur, was on traffic duty in the Syana circle of Bulandshahar district on June 22 when she stopped a person riding a motorcycle without a helmet and slapped a Rs 200 fine on him.&nbsp;

The motorcyclist introduced himself as BJP leader Pramod Kumar.&nbsp;

Kumar also telephoned other BJP leaders who soon arrived on the spot and started protesting against the police.&nbsp;

The city&#39;s BJP president Mukesh Bhardwaj also arrived on the spot. He accused a police constable of demanding money from Kumar to let him go.&nbsp;

The Hindustan Times reported that Thakur&#39;s transfer to Bahraich came about after a meeting of 11 party MLAs and one MP with chief minister Yogi Adityanath.&nbsp;

It added that Bhardwaj &quot;made no bones in admitting that Thakur&rsquo;s transfer was essential to keeping intact the pride of party workers and leaders&quot;.&nbsp;

The Hindustan Times added that &quot;he (Bhardwaj) also charged the cop with using objectionable language against CM Yogi Adityanath and other party leaders&quot;.&nbsp;

A video (below) of the incident had gone viral on social media.&nbsp;

In the video, Thakur can be heard telling the BJP leaders that they should get a letter from the chief minister stating that members of the BJP are exempt from police checking.&nbsp;

Media reports added that a mass transfer of officers had taken place in Uttar Pradesh, and that Thakur was among 234 officers who had been transferred by the Yogi Adityanath government.
