Himanshu Kumar (IPS:2010:UP), was suspended on Saturday for alleging on Twitter that senior police officers were targeting subordinates of the Yadav caste after the Yogi Adityanath government came to power in Uttar Pradesh. Further, the UP Police have ordered a probe based on the allegations. According to media reports, Kumar had later on deleted the tweet which had said, "There is now a rush among senior officers to suspend/send to reserve lines all police personnel who have 'Yadav' surname." After deleting the tweets, Kumar issued a clarification, saying that his earlier tweets had been "misunderstood". A senior home department official in the state has reportedly said the suspension of Kumar was a disciplinary action following a fact-finding report. It also said that Kumar was removed as superintendent of police, Firozabad, after the recently concluded UP Assembly election. Kumar had also filed a case against his estranged wife in July. He had alleged that his wife had hacked into his email accounts to get his bank statements and other personal details.
