A 2009 batch UP cadre IPS officer, handling sensitive corruption-related cases, was shunted from the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), following serious charges relating to personal behaviour and alleged multiple extra-marital affairs. The complaint was filed by his wife, a Superintendent in the Customs, with the Ministry of Home Affairs last fortnight. Soon after the complaint, the IPS officer, posted as Head of ACB in Chandigarh, was stripped of the field post and transferred to headquarters in the Personnel Department, New Delhi. Besides the Home Ministry, the complaint was also sent to the CBI Director and the Chief Minister's Office in Uttar Pradesh.

This IPS officer, who was allegedly having an affair with a wife of an IAS officer, was stripped off the coveted post of SSP Ayodhya on similar charges, and attached to the DGP's office in Lucknow in 2018. He was also involved in a similar controversy when he was posted as SSP Jhansi, the complaint sent to MHA reveals. Asked about the complaint against the said IPS official, the spokesperson of the CBI did not divulge any detail but confirmed that the officer has been posted in the Personnel Department of India's premier investigation agency.
