Controversy Surrounds IPS Officer Claiming to be 'Kalki' in Moradabad: Discharge and Transfer to Lucknow Headquarters
An IPS officer in Moradabad has been discharged and transferred to Lucknow Headquarters following troubling incidents that raised concerns about his conduct. This article delves into the details surrounding his recent controversies and subsequent actions.
The IPS officer stationed in Moradabad, who recently attracted public attention due to troubling and arrogant antics, has been officially discharged from his post. He has now been reassigned to the Lucknow Headquarters. For nearly the past two months, he has been on leave. The Lucknow Police Headquarters released a transfer list late on a Saturday night, which included this officer's name along with others relevant to recent assignments.
Recent Developments
As part of the transfer announcement, SSP Rajesh Dwivedi, who previously oversaw the Maha Kumbh Mela, has been appointed as the SSP of Shahjahanpur after completing his duties. Additionally, IPS Rajesh S has been designated as DIG Chitrakoot. The most notable change, however, was the mention of the IPS officer in Moradabad, who has now been attached to the headquarters instead of serving in his previous role.
This IPS officer, part of the 2021 batch, was assigned to Moradabad just last year and was entrusted with operational responsibilities within a police circle. His conduct, however, became the subject of significant controversy in late January when he displayed bizarre behavior.
Incidents of Controversy
A series of troubling incidents escalated into a situation that garnered media scrutiny:
- The officer was noted for rolling on the ground at police lines while preparing for the Republic Day parade.
- He was reported to have recklessly driven his car through village areas.
- In a disturbing episode, the officer created a ruckus in the SP Traffic office, which raised alarms about his professionalism.
- In a bizarre turn of events, he allegedly took a clerk to his residence, presented two dead rats, and proclaimed that he would sacrifice them and later resurrect them, claiming to be an reincarnation of Kalki.
- Furthermore, he behaved inappropriately with a trainee IPS officer residing in close proximity to his home. This unusual behavior prompted senior police officials to intervene and admit him to a medical facility for evaluation.
After being hospitalized, the officer's family took him home, and he has remained on leave since those incidents. With his transfer now making headlines again, public and media discourse surrounding his actions remains heightened.
