Peeved with her frequent leaves affecting the department’s functioning, the Himachal Pradesh government has finally relieved young woman IPS officer Aditi Singh (IPS:2021:HP) from the state cadre with immediate effect. She has been transferred to Haryana Police under the inter-state cadre transfer.
She was formally relieved through orders issued by officiating Chief Secretary Sanjay Gupta on April 26.
She was posted as Superintendent of Police (SP) in the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (SV&ACB) in the state at Dharamshala.
Aditi was often in the news due to her leaves, so much so that it had prompted Himachal DGP Ashok Tewari to assign her charge to her subordinate (ASP) Braham Dass Bhatia on February 23.
The order noted that the frequent leave taken by her was adversely affecting the functioning of the office.
According to sources, Aditi had applied for an inter-cadre transfer to the Haryana Police through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which cleared her request on April 10.
Inter-cadre transfers of All India Services officers are processed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and are typically granted under specific provisions.
Informed sources point out that Aditi’s transfer comes in the backdrop of an unusual administrative intervention earlier this year, when concerns were raised over her frequent absence from duty.
The order also pointed out that Aditi had attended a mid-career interaction programme between December 8 and December 10, 2025, at the Dr R S Tolia Uttarakhand Academy of Administration in Nainital, during which she remained away from duty for over a week.
Aditi is now expected to join the Haryana Police cadre as per the directions issued by the Centre.
