Suspended for graft,Bihar SP had busted 150 mining rackets

Interestingly,Sahu has not been informed about the identity of the complainant in the case. This is the first case under the Nitish Kumar government where the DGP has recommended suspension of an IPS officer.

“I am ready for an independent inquiry. What is being offered as a strong evidence against me is a one-minute,filtered,taped conversation between me and my bodyguard,” said Sahu,adding expected justice from the Chief Minister who also holds the Home portfolio.

Sahu claimed that she had gone to Shekhpura on the DGP’s insistence,and did not receive any warning or show-cause notice from the DIG or IG prior to this case. “The DGP spoke to me at regular intervals seeking updates and giving instructions on several cases,” she said.

“My side of the story should be heard by an independent inquiry team,” Sahu added. DGP Abhayanand clarified: “The IPS officer has given an explanation and I have moved it to the Home department. Now,it is up to them to judge the merit of the allegation. I have gone by facts.”
