FIR against three Bihar IAS officers

PATNA, FEB.16. In a twist to the ongoing controversy over alleged misbehaviour by the Bihar RJD MLA, Mr. Sadhu Yadav, with a senior IAS officer, the police have lodged an FIR against three civil servants for wrongfully confining two Bihar special Branch policemen for spying.

The FIR, lodged at the Gardanibagh police station here late last night by an inspector of the Special Branch, charged general secretary of the Bihar Indian Administrative Service Association (BIASA), Mr. P. P. Sharma, the Industrial Development Commissioner, Mr.G. S. Kang and the Census Director, Mr.S. K. Rakesh and their bodyguards with wrongfully confining him and a special Branch constable, Rajkumar, when they were moving around BIASA headquarters.

The officers have been booked under Sections 341 (wrongful restrain), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 353 (obstruction in due discharge of government duties) of IPC.

BIASA officials, talking to reporters here today, charged the two Special Branch personnel with spying ``on us at the behest of Sadhu Yadav,'' the brother of Chief Minister Rabri Devi.

The two were alleged to have been found noting down the number plates of vehicles of those IAS officers who had gathered to chalk out the future course of action against Mr.Yadav.

Mr.Yadav is alleged to have forced the Transport Secretary, Mr. N. K. Sinha, at gunpoint to sign an order revoking the transfer of an enforcement inspector, Mr. Sitaram Paswan, to Patna from Gopalganj, the MLA's constituency, in his official chamber on January 18.
