Senior IPS officer P. Ravindranath, who was transferred recently from his earlier post as DGP, Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement to DGP Training, tendered his resignation on Tuesday citing that he is being targeted for taking action against people involved in fake caste certificate issues.
This is the fourth time that the officer is tendering his resignation. Earlier, he had resigned alleging harassment from his seniors and also objecting to the Government allegedly sidelining him during promotion.
In his letter submitted to Chief Secretary on Tuesday, Mr. Ravindranath said that he was “pained to observe the apathy shown by the Chief Secretary”, when he had requested him to issue Government Order to set up a protection cell as per the rules 8 of SC/ST (prevention of atrocities ) Rules 1995.
