Former DSP Shailendra Singh
LUCKNOW: Former deputy superintendent of police (DySP) Shailendra Singh, who resigned from the police services in 2004 when he fell out with then ruling Samajwadi Party government for recommending the arrest of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari under POTA, got a major relief when a Varanasi court accepted Yogi Aditaynath government’s decision to drop charges against the ex-cop that were allegedly slapped for challenging the might of the mafia don.
“It is a big relief to me and my family. Finally, the truth has prevailed. It was because of this criminal case that I was unable to get a passport, an arms licence,” said Shailendra talking to TOI on phone. He said the criminal case was a part of the arm twisting tactics of the powers that be to silence him and allow the dust to settle on the entire episode including his resignation from the police services.
