It is said that fame comes at a cost. This is indeed true for Bihar IPS officer Amit Lodha (IPS:1998:BH) as great trouble has started for him. His fame has grown as a result of the web series, “Khakee: The Bihar Chapter”, but now things are looking up for him since Lodha is suspended by the Bihar government after a case was filed against him for corruption and for allegedly entering into a commercial agreement with Netflix as a government employee.
According to an official statement, Lodha is accused of using his position for financial gains by signing an agreement with the streaming platform. A deal was made with the production house Friday Storytellers while he was an IPS officer.
A statement said the department found that the allegations of corruption against Lodha were true during the investigation. Consequently, the Special Vigilance Unit filed a case on December 7 based on sections 120B and 168 of the IPC, along with sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
A Deputy Superintendent of Police rank officer has been assigned to investigate the case against Mr. Lodha, who recently was transferred from Gaya to the police headquarters. In Gaya, he was posted as the Inspector-General of Police (Magadh range).
‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’ follows the epic battle between two men on opposite sides of the law – a dreaded gang lord and a staunchly upright IPS officer.
