Though he was not found at fault by his seniors and his efforts to keep the situation under control ought to have been appreciated, he was transferred on May 5 last from Jammu to pacify the agitating Sikh community members. A youth was killed in police firing on violent protesters near Satwari on May 4 last and the area had to be put under curfew for two days. The decision to transfer him was taken on May 5 night in a meeting of the senior state functionaries with the representatives of Sikh community. Though some Sikh leaders also realised that Uttam Chand was not to be blamed for the police firing on protesters but they went with the majority sentiment to seek his transfer. His transfer made him upset. Next morning, he sought verbal permission from his seniors and went home in Punjab on leave. Since then, he has been out of Jammu.
