Dabi was posted in Jaipur before her transfer to Jaisalmer. Besides her, a total of twenty-nine IAS and 16 IPS officers were transferred in Rajasthan on Monday, PTI reported. Collectors in Bundi, Alwar, Dholpur, Dungarpur and Jaipur were changed, as per the list of officers transferred by the department of personnel, the news agency added. 

Dabi made headlines again this year after her marriage pictures with Dr Pradeep Gawande surfaced online. Gawande, a 2013-batch IAS officer, and Tina Dabi tied the knot in a private ceremony in Jaipur in April this year. The couple hosted a private wedding reception in a hotel in Jaipur on April 22. 

Tina, who was vacationing with her husband recently, shared pictures on Instagram a day earlier and wrote, "Becoming one with the waves." In the first picture, Dabi and Gawande can be seen standing on the beach and looking at the waves with their back to the camera, while the other pictures show a view of their hotel and the beach.
