ATS officer Rajesh Sahni allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has recommended a CBI probe to look into the circumstances leading to the suicide by senior police officer Rajesh Sahni amid rumours and allegations of harassment by his seniors.
A decision to this effect was taken by the Chief Minister after the Principal Secretary Home Arvind Kumar and the DGP OP Singh briefed him about the suicide of the ATS officer. “The Chief Minister wanted that the CBI should probe his death and look into circumstances which led the police officer to commit suicide,” said Kumar.
Principal Secretary, Information Avaneesh Awasthi told media that a request letter for a CBI probe into Sahni's death will be sent to the Centre shortly.
While family members of Sahni were yet to make any such demand, the UP PPS Officers’ Association had demanded a CBI probe into the suicide by Sahni, who was posted as an Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) at the UP Anti-Terrorism Squad.
In fact, demand for the CBI probe gained momentum when an Inspector Yatindra Sharma posted at the UP ATS reportedly submitted his resignation to the DGP alleging harassment by ATS Chief Aseem Arun. His resignation went viral on the social media with all sorts of comments and speculation that Sahni too was also being humiliated and harassed by his bosses. The President Medal-decorated Inspector blamed IG ATS for Sahni’s suicide.
While it is a matter of probe, an office-bearer of the UP PPS Officers’ Association questioned how Sahni came to the office when he was on leave for ten days. “Sahni’s call detail cords (CDR) should be investigated to find out who had summoned him to the office when he had already proceeded on leave,” the office-bearer said.
Sahni had committed suicide on Tuesday by shooting himself from his service weapon in his office. He was on leave from May 28 to June 7 and was going to Mumbai for his daughter’s admission. On Tuesday, he came to the ATS office and asked his driver to bring his service pistol. A few minutes later, he was found dead in a pool of blood.
A 1992 batch PPS officer, Sahni served the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for two years before joining the ATS in July 2014. His last rites were performed by his daughter on Wednesday after Guard of Honour at the Police Lines.
Earlier, Yogi Adityanath had ordered a CBI probe into the mysterious death of Karnataka-cadre IAS officer Anurag Tiwari in Lucknow in May last year. Tiwari hailed from Behraich district in Uttar Pradesh and was staying at the Government Guest House in Lucknow. He was found dead on the road outside the Guest House.
