Chandigarh, Oct 25: Debarred for five years from central deputation, one Haryana IPS officer alleged harassment, seeks FIR.
Pertinent to mention here that the MHA also debarred the officer from central deputation for a period of five years, apart from debarring him from being considered for foreign assignment/consultancies abroad during the period of debarment.
Debarred for five years from central deputation and foreign assignments for failing to take charge of the post assigned to him, Haryana IPS officer Rajender Kumar Meena has moved a representation with state Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal seeking registration of an FIR against Additional Chief Secretary (Home) TVSN Prasad accusing him of harassment.
Prasad had asked Meena to relinquish charge days after the Union Ministry of Home Affairs had debarred him from central deputation for five years with the former stating that the officer concerned should have shared his grievance, if any, with him and the issue can be resolved amicably, even now.
In the representation made on October 23, Meena had referred to at least two episodes to substantiate his allegations of harassment against Prasad.
Pertinent to mention here that the MHA on October 4 this year had informed the state government that as the officer had failed to take charge as SP, Bureau of Police Research and Development on central deputation, the competent authority had approved the cancellation of this appointment.
The MHA also debarred the officer from central deputation for a period of five years, apart from debarring him from being considered for foreign assignment/consultancies abroad during the period of debarment.
According to Meena, earlier the home secretary had “harassed him by posting him as the fourth ADC to the governor of Haryana when two ADCs had already been posted there – one from the Air Force and the other an IPS officer”.
Meena has also marked a copy of the representation to the President of India, chairman of National Commission for Scheduled Tribes, Haryana governor, and state home minister.
On the other hand, denying the allegations of harassment, Prasad claimed that the IPS officer has not been relieved and he still stands appointed as SP, Information Technology for the state police.
