New Delhi, September 9

The CBI has sent a recommendation to the UP Government to take “appropriate action” against four senior state officials, including an IAS officer, for their lapses in handling the Unnao rape case in which the main accused was former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.

The officials said the CBI in its letter to the UP Government in August had named the then Unnao DM and IAS officer, Aditi Singh, then Superintendent of Police and IPS officers Pushpanjali Devi and Neha Pandey posted in Unnao between 2017 and 2018, besides ASP Ashtbhuja Singh, who was promoted to IPS in 2019.

Underlining the lapses committed by the officers in handling the case, the officials said, “The CBI has not sought any specific disciplinary action. It has instead left it to the UP Government to take appropriate action.” — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
