Bihar: Suspended IPS officer Aditya Kumar surrenders in court

Former Senior Superintendent of Police Aditya Kumar (IPS:2011:BH) faced a significant turn of events as he surrendered in a Patna court on Tuesday, leading to his incarceration. The suspension of Kumar arose from accusations of impersonating the Chief Justice of the Patna High Court in a cheating case, and he had been on the run ever since being suspended due to a separate case involving disproportionate assets.

Despite seeking relief through an appeal to the Supreme Court, Aditya Kumar’s request for bail was recently denied, compelling him to surrender within a stipulated two-week period ending on December 6.

Law enforcement in Bihar had been on an extensive search for the absconding IPS officer, and in October 2022, the Economic Offences Unit initiated a case against him, resulting in his suspension from service.

Numerous charges have been brought against Kumar under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. In an earlier incident in 2022, the Economic Offences Unit registered a case involving disproportionate assets totaling ₹1.37 crore against him and four others. The charges included cheating, impersonation, extortion, and other offenses. The FIR alleged that the suspects, including Kumar, had impersonated the Chief Justice of the Patna High Court and pressured the Director General of Bihar Police to close a case against Kumar. In this case, Kumar had been accused of conspiring with the liquor mafia in the dry state of Bihar during his tenure as SSP in Gaya.

The Patna High Court had previously dismissed Kumar’s petition for anticipatory bail, instructing him to surrender within a four-week timeframe.

In a sudden and surprising development, on December 6, 2023, the Jharkhand government announced the appointment of IAS officer L Khiangte (IAS:1988:JH) as the new Chief Secretary, replacing the incumbent Shukhdeo Singh (IAS:1987:JH). Khiangte was currently serving as the Director General of the Administrative Training Institute (ATI) with additional charge of Additional Chief Secretary for the Forest, Environment, and Climate Change Department.

The unexpected shift in the top bureaucratic leadership has taken the corridors of power by surprise, especially considering Singh’s perceived closeness to Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Singh had previously served as the Principal Secretary to Soren during his first tenure as Chief Minister in 2013.

Initially appointed as Chief Secretary in March 2020, Singh was anticipated to complete his term until his retirement in March 2024. However, he has now been transferred and posted as the Director General of ATI.

Khiangte, slated to retire on October 31, 2024, is expected to continue in his new role until his retirement date.

Dr. Alok Shukla, a retired IAS officer from the 1986 batch in Chhattisgarh, who had been granted two extensions by the Congress government, has tendered his resignation following a change in the state’s political leadership. The officer vacated his government bungalow on November 3, 2023, and relocated to his personal property on the outskirts of the state capital.

Dr. Shukla, who received extensions after his initial retirement in 2020, served in various capacities during the Congress government. He was granted an extension of three years, followed by another extension when the term expired.

Notably, Dr. Shukla has been named as one of the accused in Chhattisgarh’s Nagrik Apurti Nigam (NAN) scam related to the public distribution system (PDS), where NAN plays a pivotal role in procuring and distributing food grains.

His resignation comes after the Congress government took control in 2018, appointing Dr. Shukla as the principal secretary in charge of education and other departments. Additionally, Tuteja was appointed joint secretary in charge of the industries department during that period.

The BJP’s victory in the Rajasthan Assembly has set the stage for a new government to be formed in the state. With this change, there is anticipation of a reshuffle in key positions, including the Chief Secretary and other top administrative roles. Chief Secretary Usha Sharma (IAS:1985:RJ) is set to retire on the 31st of December, leaving the post of Chief Secretary vacant.

As discussions about the next Chief Secretary of Rajasthan unfold, four senior IAS officers are emerging as contenders for the position. The names in consideration are Rajeshwar Singh (IAS:1989:RJ), Sanjay Malhotra (IAS:1990:RJ), Sudhanshu Pant (IAS:1991:RJ), and Abhay Kumar (IAS:1992:RJ). Among these candidates, Rajeshwar Singh is particularly noted as a strong contender for the role.

The appointment of the new Chief Secretary is a critical decision that will shape the administrative landscape in Rajasthan under the BJP-led government. The outcome will likely have implications for the state’s governance and policy direction in the coming term.
