Govt employee ends life in UP, blames IPS officer in suicide note

 

 

A 26-year-old contractual employee in the Uttar Pradesh state secretariat allegedly died by suicide by jumping before a running train in Lucknow on Wednesday, police said. The young man, identified as Vishal Saini was arrested during a raid on a sex racket operating in a spa last month and was released on bail on March 4, the police said.

 

He left behind a suicide note alleging that a woman IPS officer, Prachi Singh was responsible for his death. “Prachi Singh (IPS 2017 batch) should be held responsible for my death”. “She ruined my career by framing me in a fake sex racket case. I was unable to face my parents and family members. Strict action should be taken against the IPS officer after my death,” the purported note left by the deceased said.

 

In a statement, the Lucknow police rejected Saini’s allegations as “unfounded”. According to the statement, a police team led by the woman IPS officer raided the spa on February 13 and arrested several people including Saini. The police said that neither Saini nor his family had made any complaint alleging that he was falsely implicated in the sex racket case.

 

“Vishal was among them but we let him off after finding him innocent. I feel sorry for him taking this extreme step,” said the officer.
