Confidential complaints against IPS officers missing in Bihar

Patna: Amid raging controversy over allegations ranging from amassing of wealth to sexual abuse against some top IPS officers in Bihar, the original copy of the “pseudonymous complaint” has disappeared from the files in the State Home Department, prompting the authorities to lodge an FIR in this connection.

Deputy Secretary, Home (police) department Jagdish Prasad Sinha has registered an FIR with the secretariat police station here late last evening about the copy of the complaints going “missing” from the section of his department, a senior official said.

The private TV channel had in its news telecast on December one shown the copy of the complaints highlighting these allegations and claimed that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had ordered an inquiry into the allegations levelled against several IPS officers, including the director-general-cum commissioner of civil defence Manoje Nath and director general (police building) Anand Shanker, ranging from amassing of disproportionate wealth to sexual abuse.

On the contrary, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had dismissed the reports, saying he had not ordered any inquiry into the fake complaints. Director-general of police Ashish Ranjan Sinha too had denied having ordered any probe on the basis of fake allegations.

Furious over what he had termed as “pseudonymous complaints” in the news telecast “stage-managed by some in the bureaucracy”, Nath had on December five shot off a letter to Chief Secretary R J M Pillai seeking an impartial inquiry into how they reached the TV channel.- PTI
