Indian Police Service officer Jasbir Singh, who came into news after tightening the noose around Raja Bhaiya, has been relieved from service after the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) approved the proposal to terminate his services, sources confirmed.

Jasbir Singh, a 1992 batch IPS officer posted in UP, was presently under suspension. ADG-rank IPS officer Jasbir Singh was suspended on charges of making statements and indiscipline. He was suspended for five years. He has filed an appeal with the President of India regarding his service.

As the superintendent of police of Pratapgarh, Jasbir Singh shot into limelight for tightening the noose around Raghuraj Pratap Singh, also known as Raja Bhaiya. In a conversation with a website in February 2019, Jasbir Singh had given several statements regarding the policies and functioning of the government. He had also raised questions on the policies of the government on many points, including issues related to his previous posting, encounter policy, transfer and posting of officers.

In his interview, he had even alleged that the government was paying him salary without taking any work. There is no work in the rules and manuals, despite this, the staff is sitting there and being paid salary, he had stated.

Singh was posted as ADG (Rules and Manual) when he faced suspension. It is alleged that when a notice was issued to him in this regard and he was asked to reply, he instead went on leave. He did not even take permission from the senior officer to go on leave nor did he file his reply. After this, he was suspended.

When Jasbir Singh was superintendent of police of Pratapgarh and in the Food Cell, he tightened the screws on Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya. He was in a lot of discussions during this time. During his posting as ADG (Home Guard), he raised the issue of corruption. After this, he was removed from Home Guard and posted as ADG (Rules and Manual). It is said that the government was not satisfied with the reply to the notice issued to him. On this basis, it was decided to relieve him from service.

While he was suspended, Singh kept getting half salary. Now that too will stop when his service ends. It is said that after the proposal to terminate his services has been approved by the UPSC, the chances of his service being restored are very less.
