The legal battle of two IPS officer of Assam Police came in public domain. Yesterday Additional Director General of Police (Communication), Assam, R Chandanathan has alleged ” that a section of senior police officers trying to tarnish his public image” and today another IPS officer Anurag Agarwala issued a press release stating that ” I am forced to state the following facts in public domain due to false, concocted and misleading press statement given by one of my senior colleague”.
Agarwala mentioned in his press release that ” I have filed a complaint against Mr Chandranathan in the Judicial Court, Silchar who directed the Silchar Police Station to register a criminal case against Mr Chandranathan under various sections of IPC. Over the years, Mr Chandranathan has misused his official position and committed many illegalities, suppression of correct facts etc. and submitted false reports against me with sole motive to hamper my career prospects. He opened vigilance enquiry against me on false pretext and concocted facts which could not withstand the judicial scrutiny. Vide judgement and order dated 01-04-2015 in W.P ( C) 2953/2013, the Hon’ble Gauhati High Court not only quashed the vigilance enquiry conducted by him but also made adverse observations like that “ the said enquiry was malafide and the enquiry report was blatantly contrary to the actual facts”.
