Lamba, who was in anti-auto theft squad of Delhi Police, had allegedly helped Manu Sharma escape after the ramp model's murder in 1999.

Lamba's transfer comes in the wake of special investigating team completing the questioning of police officials as part of its probe in connection with the destruction of evidence case registered by the police after the public outcry over the acquittal of all the nine accused in the murder.

However, police officials said Lamba's transfer was a routine one.
