Former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Abhishek Singh’s (IAS:2011:UP) efforts to rejoin the service are facing challenges. According to our sources, his political activities in the state are creating obstacles, which is why the Central government has not yet made a final decision on his request to rejoin the service.
In June, Singh wrote to the central government expressing his desire to rejoin the IAS. However, the Uttar Pradesh government also sent a letter at that time, objecting to his reappointment.
Singh was previously removed from his role as an observer during the 2022 Gujarat Assembly elections after a photo of him posing next to a government vehicle went viral. Following this incident, he was suspended, and in October 2023, he resigned from the service, citing personal reasons.
