    SSP, Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida)Suspended

    In November 2019 he sent a confidential report to the CM's and DGP's offices alleging that senior police officers, politicians and journalists were fixing transfers and postings for money; it followed the arrest of four journalists whose conversations with officers about paid postings came to light. After a purported explicit video of him circulated (he said it was morphed), the report leaked. He was suspended; the officers he named were moved to minor posts the same day and a committee was set up to examine his allegations.

    Up against
    Senior IPS officers he accused of a cash-for-postings racket Government: Yogi Adityanath (BJP), Uttar Pradesh.
    Reported reason
    Tribune: suspended 'ostensibly after an objectionable video in which he was seen was found to be genuine by a Gujarat forensic laboratory'; the CM was 'reportedly upset at the confidential letter being leaked'.
    The officer said
    He told a press conference he was being targeted for exposing the nexus (Tribune).
    The other side said
    The state's position was that the video was genuine per the forensic lab and that a departmental probe would examine the leak (Tribune). DGP O P Singh had sought his explanation on 3 Jan 2020 (IE).
    Outcome
    Suspended for about 14 months; revoked March 2021.
    What became of the matter
    Partly vindicated. TOI (Mar 2021): of the five IPS officers he accused, the government's SIT gave three a clean chit and recommended action against two, Ajay Pal Sharma and Himanshu Kumar, against whom the Vigilance establishment lodged an FIR. The outcome of that FIR is not known. timesofindia.indiatimes.com
