Chandigarh: Alleging of being harassed by an official of chief minister office (CMO) for not deposing against former chief minister (CM) Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Deshbandhu, a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) of Haryana police, has offered to resign from the service.
DSP Deshbandhu has also accused that the CMO official is implicating him in false cases of corruption for complaining against him to the CM.
“Initially, the problem with official began after I lodged a complaint of corruption worth crores of rupees with CM Manohar Lal Khattar. Since 2015, I had been lodging the complaints. Since the officer is in the good books of CM Khattar, my complaints have gone unheard. Now he has registered false cases against me,” said Deshbandhu.
Deshbandhu is related to five-time BJP MP Suraj Bhan.
“Now, the situation is such that the government has started targeting my wife as well as other family members. So, I chose to resign and launch a fresh fight for justice. I am also being targeted as I come from a special community,” he said.
Meanwhile, when contacted, officials in CMO have dismissed the allegations levelled by the DSP. “The charges have been framed against him in a corruption case. But as the matter is sub judice, we cannot give more details. The DSP had levelled similar kind of allegations in a writ petition moved by him in the Punjab and Haryana high court. The court gave him three years before dismissing the petition with a fine of Rs 10,000,’’ said a senior official in CMO.
DSP Deshbandhu has also accused that the CMO official is implicating him in false cases of corruption for complaining against him to the CM.
Deshbandhu had been in news for the wrong reasons. During the tenure of Hooda, he had accused Hooda’s CMO men of harassment over some issue related to Punjab bureaucrat.
