Following the transfer issue against the officer, the locals have evoked strong reactions and held protests against the transfer.

The locals called the transfer an injustice with an honest officer and praised the sub-divisional officer's effort for curbing the illegal sand mining menace in the division.

Additional superintendent of police Rai Singh Narwariya said that the police are investigating the matter of using illegally mined sand for the construction of a wall of the pond.

According to a report by the Hindustan Times, Pandre was attacked by the mafia at least 11 times and she registered a complaint at a different police station about the same.

It added that Pandre seized more than 80 tractor-trolleys and trucks laden with illegally mined sand worth lakhs of rupees.

Environmentalist and local activist Sudhir Sapra said in the report that Pandre was a hardworking officer and they really saw a curb in illegal sand mining in Chambal Sanctuary, which has been going on since 2007.

Another activist, Satendra Singh Tomar complained, "The transfer of Pandre proved her accusation that mining mafias are getting the support of police and local administration in Chambal division."

Tomar is running a campaign on social media against Pandre’s transfer.

The opposition leaders also attacked the BJP-led state government regarding the case. Congress MLA Govind Singh said, "They (mining mafia) are spoiling the environment and Chambal Sanctuary for money. We will not keep mum against this injustice with a woman forest officer. We will expose the state government for punishing honest officers."

State minister of urban development and housing OPS Bhadoria, denying the accusations, said that the transfer is a routine practice. He added that they appreciate Pandre's effort to stop illegal mining but the accusation against the government and police are baseless.

Having said that it is wrong to blame the police and they are against the mafia, Superintendent of Morena police Lalit Shakyawar stated, "we requested Shradha Pandre to inform the police before taking any action against mafia so that enough police force could send for protection but she hardly paid any attention to our request."

Pandre wrote in a Facebook post, "whenever I took a tough action against the mafia, I had to face this. Earlier too, I was transferred for the same reason."
