How UP’S sand mafia framed Durga ZoomBookmarkSharePrintTranslateA senior Samajwadi Party leader with an axe to grind framed IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal and was later caught on camera boasting before a rally that he was responsible for getting her suspended, it has emerged. Moreover, the perception of locals and colleagues that she is an upright and honest officer has been validated by a report submitted by Gautam Buddh Nagar district magistrate Ravikant Singh to the government. A district administration official told HT that, a month ago, Nagpal earned the displeasure of UP agro chairman and senior SP leader Narendra Bhati by lodging an FIR against his close aide Omendra Khari in a sandmining case. “Bhati was annoyed with Nagpal because of the action she took against Khari and because she did not protect his supporters involved in illegal sand mining,” the official said. “This is why he hatched a plot involving a mosque that never was and trapped her.” Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and minority affairs minister Azam Khan continued to defend the decision to suspend Nagpal while Union minister of state for personnel V Narayanasamy said the Centre would look into the suspension.
