The Yogi government has suspended a
1992-batch IPS officer Jasvir Singh, who was posted as Additional Director
General (ADG) in the rules and manuals department of the Uttar Pradesh Police,
for violation of service rules by making certain remarks while giving an
interview to English news and opinion website. In the interview, he purportedly commented on
‘adverse impact’ of politics on governance and did not reply when an
explanation was sought in the matter. While according to the UP police website he
was suspended on February 14, no communique has yet been issued by the
government in this regard. His interview with the website was posted in January
this year. Jasvir is known as an uncompromising cop who
sticks to rules whatever be the consequences. When posted in the state police's
food cell, he exposed the 2004-05 multi-crore foodgrain scam in Lakhimpur Kheri
and Sitapur and the case was later transferred to CBI for investigation.
