Former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Abhishek Singh (IAS:2011:UP) has written to the Centre, expressing his wish to rejoin the service but a roadblock from the UP government which also shot a letter objecting to his reappointment.

Mr. Singh was removed from the post of an observer during the 2022 Gujarat Assembly election after a picture of him posing beside a government vehicle went viral on the internet. He then got suspended from the job following the incident, and in October 2023, he resigned from the service, citing personal reasons.
